I personally have had some luck with Joel's stackoverflow career postings when it first started out. I'm not sure what it's like anymore.

Also, are you a programmer yourself? If so it's much easier because you can just reach back to classmates and friends.

Otherwise, you probably have a much harder time. There's an entire article here about how it's hard to hire a good programmer if you're not good yourself: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000073.html

Yeah we actually just posted on that. The problem with stack overflow is that it seems to be overwhelmed by the HR department of ginormous firms (Adobe, Facebook, etc).

The "ambiance" of the place is more like a formal recruiting board versus a place to get talented hackers. Read through the other posts and then look at ours, it really seems out of place: http://careers.stackoverflow.com/Jobs/9293/

(Note: just want to show a point, if i'm not supposed to post specific info please tell me).

Actually, come to speak of it, the authentic jobs post by zaveri (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1932313) seems a lot more promising. Maybe I made a mistake with stack overflow -- the costs of authenticjobs seems lower too.
