Clearly this is a bootstrapped project but to get initial traction you are going to need to add some more info.
1) Consider explaining your process. Once you know the team how do you pitch them who do you approach. Are you only looking for engineers? What's your fee and who pays it?
2) Do you have any companies that have expressed early interest in this platform? See if you can get their permission to show up as 'beta partners' with a logo on your splash page for social proof.
3) Explain the constraints. Are we expected to be hired as a team of contractors, or all as employees?
4) For companies: let us know what value this adds, what fees we pay and how you screen the candidate quality. Also let us know how you bridge risk. What happens if I have a great team with one bad employee and I left him go, am I losing that team?
5) About page. No one wants to give their information out to a webpage that doesn't tell me who is running it. Let me know who you are and what your experience is in this industry. If you don't have any that's fine, explain why you see this as a problem and why you can fix it.
6) Godlist seems like an odd name, your idea of a-team is better, but right now your site has both names. Stick with a coherent messaging.
7) Be transparent, tell us how many companies/teams you work with and how many you place. If the answer right now is 0 that's ok but be transparent. If you are not showing it because its 0 everyone is aware of that anyway and it lowers the sites trust.
Interesting concept and good luck with it, I think you can add some value to the industry as teams that already know they work well together can come in and be handed specific projects and hit the ground running. You should make your messaging clear that it's not 'get you and your friends hired' but rather a concept to bring efficient and complimentary teams into the workplace for specific project capacity. This is a pitch that refines the type of teams that should apply and makes a clear value add proposition to the businesses that you want to work with (and I assume take a finders fee for).
