    My advice would be to hire a company to find a DBA for you.

    Sorry Abel but this is god-awful advice. I recently got involved in a round of recruitment for a new DBA and the companies (agencies) we contacted just could not come up with the goods. When I asked around at the UK User Group in Manchester a few weeks ago, everyone agreed, agencies just aren't the right way to find a good DBA.

    I'd disagree. In the US, they are hit and miss, but they do hit. Not sure it's better/worse than you doing it alone.

    Use agencies/recruiters, just don't use them exclusively.
