Subcontracting to India

[tomtomagain]

I have a developer working in Ukraine for me, but even there it's getting quite expensive

So do I. He's been working for me for 5 years. Getting expensive? Not really compared to the UK and having had 5 years of building a strong working relationship I would be loth to replace him with someone, who on a day rate, was cheaper.

Succesful software development is not about getting the lowest cost resources.

But as someone doing it, you already know that.

As a complete newbie in this , what's the best way to start finding reliable developers?

My money says that as a complete newbie, you won't. Sorry.

But he says he's got a guy in the Ukraine so can't be a newbie??

If you already have a good working relationship with someone in Ukraine, why aren't you asking them to do the work or to at least ask him/her to find someone there instead of going to an unknown market?
