The best way to find a company that hires directly is to simply assume that they will all hire directly, if you find the right person to talk to. This may be beyond obvious, but it can help to network by going to technical meetups[1], conferences and the like. You may not meet hiring managers, but you'll meet your peers who may know of open jobs at their companies and can help you get interviews.

One would hope that you can find some that would be relevant to you.
