The question should be, "Why don't you know where to find good developers?" If you want good developers to join the market, you're asking them to be good at two things: development and noticing economic opportunities. They don't always go hand-in-hand. You could wait for some "this is the last straw!" event, which may never come and even if it did, the developer still has no idea who you are. Or you need to recruit good developers and tell them they have a better opportunity at your company. Google seems to find candidates this way, just by sending people to universities, using recommendation systems, and trawling the web for people who post good work.
