Ask HN: What is the best way to find freelance devs?

1 pointsby dakrishtalmost 12 years ago
I&#x27;m in need of a freelance iOS dev (or two) in the Southern California area. Anywhere on the West Coast could work as well. W<p>hat is a good way of finding <i>great</i> freelance devs?<p>9&#x2F;10 devs I speak to say they can do everything and can&#x27;t do crap. Just nonsense.<p>Have tried traditional channels of ODesk, ELance but nothing but crap on there as well.<p>Meetups - no go here in SoCal, everyone has an &quot;idea&quot; and is coming from a restaurant waiter background. The scene is pathetic.

Come to San Diego. Our meetups are great from the several different ones I&#x27;ve been to. I haven&#x27;t encountered anyone like you described.

Do you <i>really</i> need a local dev? Expand your search radius and you have access to an expanded talent pool.

Though it is more focused on online hiring, you might find some good pieces of advice here: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5774303" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=5774303</a>

Make sure to ask for code samples before hiring
