What is the best method to hire a coder?
Hi,
We're located in a metro area of 1 million. We're looking to hire a coder with little to moderate experience, preferably on a 2 - 3 month contract.
Quick Questions:
1. Is something like Monster.com the best way to find somebody?
2. Do coders want to work on a 2-3 month contract? Our idea is to test them on contract and make them an employee if they're competent enough.
We can conduct a good interview, but I'm a bit clueless on the best way to get people TO the interview.
Thanks for your time

Thanks for all of the tips - we definitely need somebody working in the office
Then it would appear my suggestion is completly useless to you.

Chris, that is true - but after looking at ELance, it seems to be setup better than rentacoder. Although I don't need this now, the information is far from useless to me in the long-run. Thanks for your time
RentaACoder is another possibility.
