There are at most about 12 tenure-track positions in sociolinguistics a year in North America. Obviously there are more in linguistics at large.
Sociolinguistics job applications are probably chiefly evaluated by non-sociolinguists, yes. A department that has more than one sociolinguist already is unlikely to be hiring another.
