I don't really like using recruiters, but when you need the perfect person yesterday, it's tempting. What are some creative approaches to recruiting for quant/programming roles in today's market?

Neither qualified employees like them.
I, for one, encountered several times a situation, as I tell a "head hunter" about my experience with interest rate modeling and then she asked whether I have knowledge in fixed income.

How about publishing a job-ad on this forum, on http://www.nuclearphynance.com and on Wilmott | Serving The Quantitative Finance Community | Home ?
And of course Xing/LinkedIn (asking your connections to help you to promote your ad) is a good option.

Can you post directly on efinancialcareers.com without being a recruiter? It seems like the LinkedIn of finance.
