Finding good Programers

I need to find a good programer, but when I post job's on forums I get seamingly automated reply's and sales pitches rather then the information I requested.
Where can someone go to find programers willing to do work and able to follow directions?

What do you exactly need coding? Might help us point you in the direction of good people?

Try the business section of this site.

Picard look into rentacoder.com there website caters to people looking for programmers. If the programmer does not follow directions then there is no money lost!

If you are looking for decent programmers and designers alike then there is no better place than talkfreelance! By next weekend we hope to have completed our "freelance quote" system which will allow you to find a range of freelancers matching your specific requirements, such as budget, timeframe and skills.
