Yes,
I would definitely stay away from Craigslist; there has been too much talk of undercover work being done there.
From what I've noticed, Backpage is different. Sometimes I might see an escort service flooding the site with their girls, but I have also come across girls posting ads that claim to "work" independently.
However, if you are looking to
employ an escort I would definitely stay away from Craigslist, as well as Backpage too. I would familiarize myself with a website mentioned previously, such as BigDoggie.net
You can also check out TheEroticReview.com and Eros.com
Be careful who you trust and try to do business with. Chances are, if you are trying to employ an escort and she is already working independently or with another company, you will have to offer something way better. Take notice that all the links I have seen posted thus far (including mine) are going to send you to a site where the escort is probably already well-established. I've never been inside the member's area of any of these sites so I'm not sure as what to expect.
Think outside of the box and you might be able to get a few girls working for you.
