Where to find a great full time Handyman for my business?

Hello All,

Hopefully this is the right location for this.   I have been on the hunt for a full time Handyman and have come up empty with sources like craigslist, Indeed and monster.  I consistently get the guy who says yep I'm your guy, I can do it all.  

Great! 

1- Give me all the codes you need to follow to install a gas or electric water heater.

2- Codes for hand rail heights and where they are need.

3- Standard breaker size and wire for specific appliances?

4- how to find or fix the problem with a dead outlet, reverse neutral, missing ground?

along with 10 other basic questions.

Heck if they could just know 1/2 of them I would be happy. For the right guy that wants to move up in the world I could start teaching them to become better and eventually turn them into a QC guy on top of a great handyman and then go find another Handyman.

So my question is where do I find this guy? Is there some specific job websites, Job boards, methods or database that people are using? I could really use some help in this area.

Much appreciated

Tony

Not sure why a handyman would know building codes.  He isn't going to be pulling permits for many of his jobs.

This is stuff a GC deals with, not a handyman.
