we provide offshore developers for startups , they can hire full time developers at about 1/4th of cost they would pay in U.S.A. How do I reach people who want to hire programmers on full time basis . I don't like Odesk and others because people want to pay $2 / hour - $5 / hour and that's not sustainable for quality development.

Try and figure out what type of companies hire programmers on a fulltime basis and see if they would use your company. Once you figure who your ideal customers are, then run ads where those types of customers spend time.
