Hiring Freelancers Online?

    First of - Thanks just for looking at my question.

    Dont know if this is the right place to be posting this query? Sort did not really fit into any category.

    Q. Besides listing here at DP (buy/sell/trade) where is the best place to look at hiring a IT/Internet related freelancer?

    I feel over whelmed when i type the term into ggle search and get millions of results.

    What are best sites? Does it cost anything to list my job at the site? Are there any dodgy sites to avoid? How do i pay the freelancer like upfont or after the job etc.

    Total newb at the concept.

    You guys out there have such incredible knowledge - would save me racing around and doing the research myself.

    I know there is getafreelancer but what are the other main ones?

    Thanks so much for the replies if i get them :D

    hi,
    go for RENTACODER DOT COM.
    this is the best site. free registration. you have to escrow money as soon as you select the service provider.

    I think rentacoder.com and getafreelancer.com are best.

    you can also try scriptlance.com and elance.com

    Best of Luck!

    i think rentacoder is bit expensive in the pricing side. they are charging 15% per successful freelance job. :D
    i think this is way too high for middle man.

    I use scriptlane.com. Try to get programmers in poor countries...they will do almost anything for couple hundred dollars.

    You can also find a local designer by posting your request for a designer at:

    www.craigslist.org

    TIP: You might want to use an extra e-mail account because you may recieve a lot of responses! (which will flood your inbox)
