Where do you get good developers for large projects?

I have a web app idea and want to have it developed. The main problem is that I have not had too much success finding good developers for fairly large projects. This project would likely take 3 or 4 months for one developer to finish. I would estimate it would cost $20,000 to $50,000.

I know that most on here are marketers/entrepreneurs (that don't do their own development) so I thought this might be a good place to ask.

Has anyone here had success finding great developers that don't quit before the project is done? What websites are the best for a large project? Odesk? Elance? Local?

Hey, if you are still looking for those developers you can try this company bodecontagion or look for someone in Upwork

Well, Upwork and the similar places are good to find cheap developers )

Good developers are... well, try HackerNews.
There are monthly threads for those who looking for freelancers and for freelancers looking for projects

The best way to find a developer is probably to look through LinkedIn profiles or toptal. However, I'd also recommend you consider such an option as a dedicated team. Such a team of developers can help you complete both short-term and sustainable long-term projects. Moreover, their greatest benefit is that they don't quit after the deployment of a project and help with the project maintenance.

The last time I hired EffectiveSoft for my big project. They have quite a large portfolio, so I trusted them. I did not think that they are working on such a large scale. I was surprised by their speed, so I can definitely recommend them.

I just go to College and hire students. They are ready for anything for a penny

I just completed a huge project for our government with a web development Melbourne company. You might want to try them
