If you're at an incubator / coworking space, that is the best place. Second to that, meetups. Third, you can start interviewing en masse - but when it gets to that point, both sides decay in quality. I've gotten most of my work through incubators, people using my open source projects, and finally through HN. In hindsight, the reason why incubators/coworking spaces were so effective is people can form a connection beforehand and know your personality. They can see that you're in front of a terminal happy getting stuff done, "in the zone" with your headphones, and not yapping about politics or meta stuff. If you do python, django, or stripe, check my profile.
