This approach isn't perfect, as people have pointed out, but I think its better than the alternative. A lot of freelance coding sites are practically unusable from the employer's side because every yokel can give a low rate and not even read the project description. I think forcing those people to try to prove their worth and getting rid of some riff-raff employers that underpay is a net gain.
