Finding teachers for contract positions is easy. Just take out an ad on Dave's and wait for 200 resumes to flood in. But how do you find part time and short term teachers already Korea and ready to start now? In China, you post an announcement in the expat hangouts. I'm not into the bar scene, but a couple of the teachers at my school are. So I asked them, "Have you ever seen any announcements posted at any of the expat hangouts?" Their answer: "People are too drunk to read announcements." Their suggestion: Plaster Itaewon with flyers. Surely there's an expat hangout somewhere in Seoul that schools and teachers use to find each other work.

Offer them decent money.

How would you convince me that I should come work for you when I can just start an extra class at my school or could get high-paying illegal privates through my Korean co-workers? How would you convince me that I should spend less of my winter holiday in SE Asia and come teach little snot-nosed brats at your camp? Think about it - it's not rocket science.

I know plenty of F visa holders who want extra teaching gigs. You should advertise on the job boards as with any other other position and get eligible candidates.
