- JoshTriplett 7y agoA big part of the point of a marketplace of contractors would be to do some form of vetting. Contracts can have standardized terms. People may want insurance or other protection. Contracts are more than just "X pays Y, Y does work for X". A marketplace making a requirement that contractors on their platform must respond to messages within N hours doesn't inherently make the contractors into employees. "We don't list people unless they meet these requirements" serves as a major selling point. "We list anyone who shows up" makes for a noisy, lower-value marketplace.
