Contact a service:
You will find many agents and companies who provide workers. Though, you can get day laborers without putting any extra effort but you will have to pay extra commission to the agents. Moreover, you need to be super cautious as some of the workers are not skilled. -

Advertise:
Another effective way to get day laborers is to advertise on the internet, papers, local cable TV channels etc. There are many websites that offer free space for your ads. Similarly, some local newspapers have special space for short line ads. You can paste a simple paper on the notice board of some store where majority of the people come. However, make sure that you are targeting the right audience and area. Moreover, you should provide information about the nature of work and your contact information. -

Go directly to workers:
Mostly, day laborers wait for work in a specific area so you can visit that area and pick suitable men for the job. Sometimes, they work as a team which makes it easy for you to arrange men to handle the job. For instance, if you are looking for laborers for house construction then find a group that has experience in doing construction, painting, wiring, finishing etc. -

Seek help from some experienced person:
If you are not confident enough then it is better to seek help from someone who has a little bit experience of hiring day laborers. Word of mouth is a powerful tool so do not hesitate in asking your neighbours or friends. They will not only recommend some reputable person but also give you suggestions to get the best result. -

Formulate a contract:
You should formulate a contract and get signed from your day laborer. This contract will comprise the working hours, nature of work and the wage.
