If I have a personal connection that could do a good job, then I'll go 100% to them first. However, they can be busy, slow and not very responsive (they will use the excuse that they know you...). So in a realistic situation, I would go straight to freelancers and benefit from geo-arbitrage.

I trust networking and acquaintances more, you can see the real results of projects, and such personal connections often impose more personal responsibility

It depends directly on the project - you can search for something simpler and more creative yourself, but you want to trust more complex and serious projects to someone you've already heard about

It depends on the job and usually all the guys from my connections are fully employed.
