What I really want is an agent. I'd be willing to give up a small percentage if my hourly every month to an agent who brought me contracts I was really, really interested in. I've thought many times about how to pull this off, and I just don't know if the dynamic is right in the industry.

#15I'd be super interested in this. Been working on a startup full-time but might have to look for contract work soon. I think the value add of something like this is having you curate the job listings for entrepreneurs and you being able to convince companies the value of our unique skill set. Might be best done manually at first but I'd pay for a service like that.

#16Is this of interest? Oh yeah, definitely. Thoughts? Want. Now. Seriously, I could see this being really useful if it works. I'd be very interested in giving it a try.

#17FWIW, I know of at least one member of the billion-plus exit club who was a core founder & did sidework during the early days....

What is your hourly rate, and what qualifies you for such a high rate? I'm asking honestly, as a person who's actually interested in being an agent. Basically, help me help you.

Nice. This is really interesting. I was thinking we could somewhat automate the agent process but perhaps we allow recruiters to sign up and represent you for a revenue share. Interesting.
I think it really only works with hourly. Salaried positions are how we ended up with recruiter dynamics in the first place.
