I'm running a project using Catalyst for one part and decided it was going to come down to a choice between teleworkers or sub-contractors. Catalyst hasn't been around long enough for there to be many experienced developers you could recruit. I made a shortlist by looking at who had contributed what to SVN, the code quality and how well they communicated with others on list/IRC. It's worth trying http://jobs.perl.org and there's quite a few perlers on http://www.linkedin.com. For any team, as numbers increase you have to allow more time for communication between members, including more specs and docs. Also look at tools, procedures and coding standards.
