LinkedIn has worked for me. I would recommend updating your profile and searching for them. They might even contact you once they see your qualifications
Can't speak for contracting work specifically, but I got my current position from a recruiter on LinkedIn.
How did that go? From finding the recruiter to getting the job, I have no idea how it usually goes.
It went surprisingly smoothly. I sent an updated resume and filled out their application, then we met for a first round of interviews, then after passing I went to their office for a final round of interviews.
Naturally, I still had to go through their usual application process. I think having a recruiter recommend me helped to ensure someone actually read the resume though.
