My startup is working on fixing this problem :-) However we're avoiding the contractor market at the moment, because for contractors the recruitment agency often acts as an employment agent as well as recruitment agent (i.e the company will pay the agency and the agency will pay the contractor). Companies prefer this model so they can just have a handful of agencies they can pay rather than having to deal with paying hundreds of contractors directly. I'm currently playing around with a couple of ideas how to innovate in the contractor market, but essentially they involve minimizing the pain of dealing with recruiters rather than replacing them. Although as my focus is more on the permie market initially, it may take me a while to get around to turning those ideas into a reality !
