How to find reliable developers within a limited budget?

I’m exploring some new models for project execution, but need a developer’s help to move forward. My main concern is budget, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to find reliable developers without overspending.

For those who have been in a similar situation, what has worked well for you? Did you try freelance platforms, referrals, or agencies? Any suggestions or lessons learned would be really helpful.

My simple thoughts suggest that we must rely on ourselves until others depend on our financial support.

Usually if I need help I post here asking if someone is free for a project or I post on discord server asking them if they are interested. A huge chunk is up for it, at no cost.

Use Freelance sites. Also post a hiring ad in several places and mention range what you are ready for based on experience and quality.
