b) Recruitment agencies
These type of agencies are better suited for large organizations, which have branches all over the world. They can work closely with the recruitment agencies and hire the developers into their own payroll
For smaller web agencies and software companies this approach is usually not the best.
c) Perusing through the various websites
There are several websites where you can find ASP.NET developers. Those are usually freelancers. Which can be a good option sometimes. But you should remember that they are “free” and can also work on parallel IT projects and they do not need to ask for your permission.
