This is another misguided effort to commodify freelance people of varying experience levels and interest. These have come along with regularity through out the time I've been working in this business (34 yrs) --before the internet as well, and they never work except for the most low-budg simple jobs. Any producer with any experience at all realizes that having people that know how to do their jobs is the key to their own success, and that they will ultimately be held accountable by THEIR client for mistakes their hirees make. This doesn't mean that the work might be low-paying, but the producer is going to want a personal recommendation at least.
