My primary source is my personal database of contacts that have been developed over the last 10 years. I like the job boards also for warm leads to candidates, but usually...I find that I call people with similar skills (but I know they are not a fit for the job). This way...they end up referring me to someone better qualified that isn't out there on the job boards looking for a job.

Or...if you know what company you want to pull someone from you can always cold call into that company or look it up on LinkedIn. Finding who works at a company using LinkedIn can be a powerful way to "get a name" so you aren't making a truly "cold call" into that company.
