I used Elance back in the day (before I even knew what "PHP" was.. I know). This time around I searched Google for keywords and looked in the Hacker News freelancer threads, and my leads were really good and ended up hiring someone that way. Takes a lot more time and effort than going on a freelancer site, but for a simple job Elance/ODesk could be the way to go.
