I've got a few that have worked for me in the past. 1. Find your local job boards. A large number of agencies in my local area post on a local media job board, even though in my experience on the other side of the hiring process not many people use it. When going for senior roles this is a huge advantage, as many agencies I've worked with will pay 15% or more of a candidates salary as commission to a recruiter. 2. Go to user groups. It's by far the best way to know who is hiring, who you want to work for, who you don't, etc. Being a part of the "community" is also a great way to get "in" with an employer on the outside. It's shocking how many employers will hear that you regularly attend or talk at user groups, and think "wow, this guy must be an expert!" 3. This is kinda a mixture of the two above, but follow dev leads on Twitter for local companies. It cuts out the drivel from company accounts, and more often than not if their employer is hiring for a dev role they'll either retweet or tweet the job post themselves. There's probably some cool filtering you can do with a Twitter list and a few search queries.
