Ask HN: How do you hire contract software developers?

[googlycooly]

As a founder, I'm finding it very difficult to hire great software developers. I tried job posting portals, but that's not effective. I usually spend months to make a hire (most of them don't even pass the initial interview)

How do you hire developers? (Contract basis) How can I connect with great developers quickly?

Upwork. You still need to be good at vetting and managing devs though.

That's very difficult and time-consuming
