I have a (metaphorical) rolodex filled with contractors who I've enjoyed working with, which I will always check first before even thinking about ringing an agency.

I have a friend/ex-colleague who I would describe as a master networker. He has connections all over the NYC investment bank and hedge fund IT department world, and can literally call a few people up and get "a" well paying job at a hedge fund in a matter of hours. Some of these connections are billionaire CEOs/fund managers.
The caveat to this is that he has to be extremely unpicky. Said job can be very undesirable other than the compensation - stuff like feeding XML feed files or working with VB, etc. But because they are at hedge funds, they all still pay well.
