My method for getting a great coder even though you can't evaluate coding skills -

Hire a great coder to HELP YOU INTERVIEW. Find a great coder who's work you respect, who is currently employed and not looking to leave his position. PAY HIM his going rate to help assess your candidates.

Find candidates through local meetups, friends of friends, and this lovely community here. Above poster is correct, Good coders are respected. If you actually start becoming a part of the community you will start to find folks who might work out.

That's a great idea. That would be a good service, too, if you can get the trust thing (someone else hires your key employees) right.
