    To expand on my comments a bit...

    Those websites are just a crap-shoot in my opinion. Sometimes you really do get good results from talented people like Ancillary said. I've seen that happen before.

    But other times (seems to me like *most* of the time) the results are just sub-par.

    I wouldn't look on those sites to hire anyone unless I was desperate.

    And as for getting business, I prefer to work my contacts and get referrals via word-of-mouth. People who come to me that way are predisposed to trust me and usually local, which means that we can meet in person to ensure that the project goes more smoothly.
