craigslist.org is pretty good - as sites go. Adding my bit Johns comment:
I have found if you ask specific questions about projects people have
worked on, it's pretty easy to tell if they did what they said they
did. Like "why did you do X this way" or "what made you decided to use
X". I have found if they can't get specific they are probably lying or
don't know what they are doing. Even simple stuff works, like "what
does MVC stand for? can you give me an example?".
Good luck,
Rob
