I am a semi-pro photographer and I hire my models through One Model Place. I think it is a safe place to advertise and it allows you to guard yourself. Your ad will allow you to state what kind of modelling you want to do and your experience.

In the beginning, you will need to get some portfolio work done. Try to have that done with someone who is likewise trying to break into the business. It can be a time for CD kind of deal. Be careful of agencies who charge lots of money. One Model Place has some good chatboards for models and advice.

I thoroughly recommend them.
