A lot of Rails devs have more likely moved on to “full stack” and now they have to write JavaScript for a living. I don’t envy them. React, and all that kind of thing. The front end ecosystem is a mess. Lots of work in that space though.
Go seems to be getting some traction commercially too.

There's the problem. If you're too cheap to pay for an advert, I don't even want to think about what your rate might be like.
They often have a massive chip on their shoulder about agents.
And when they find it hard to find anyone it's because they "have such unique skills". It reinforces their own bias about their amazing skillz.

How much is it to put something on Jobserve, or a free site that'll be gobbled up by one of the aggregators?
Pay nothing and you'll get a quantity of rubbish, though

Freelancers.net?
Hi,
You could check out Freelancers.net. Not sure what the quality is like but used to be very good. Can search for a skill then go through and look at locations. Better than Upwork / People Per Hour, but will still get some offshore people on there too.

Job Centre????
Seriously though. If you don't have the contacts already, then you're about to find out why agencies exist. They're not just parasitic organisations. They do actually find people.
The entire industry for search and selection of people has grown around the people who know how to do it.
So if your contacts are crap, and you are desperate to not use a professional, then cough up for LinkedIn premium and buy a subscription service to JobServe.
Or hope you get lucky.
