I think in the beginning recruiters on LinkedIn. Note however that like all parasites they will try to skim a lot off the top. Worse than that, some will try to lock you in and write in clauses saying that they should get a share of any other future contracts you might have - make sure to never sign smth like that.

Once you have a few 6 month contracts under your belt and you can get good references you can probably find things without relying on intermediaries.

You either connect to a freelance broker or you network your way into such things.

In my experience no advertises on job boards that they are looking for contractors.
