$45-$80 per hour is way too low for "elite" talent. If you advertise "rigorously vetted elite remote talent" you need to make that vetting process transparent, or offer better guarantees that you stand behind your vetted developers. A seven-day trial period with full refund looks good, but serious projects tend to fail nearer the end than the beginning. And what elite developer will commit to working for up to a week for free? The information on the site consists almost entirely of marketing fluff. Where's the description of the rigorous vetting process? Evidence of your expertise vetting developers, finding customers, managing the inevitable bumps and conflicts during a project? Where are the lists of satisfied customers or elite developers and their accomplishments? If you intend to act as agents you need to establish credibility. If you intend to just match keywords in job descriptions and CVs then you're just competing with Upwork and Fiverr and hundreds of similar matching sites. The site needs editing or professional writing. Small errors add up to give the impression that site was thrown together in a hurry from a template. Clicking "Apply to join" or "Hire Now" redirects to tally.so, a separate form collection site, not exactly inspiring confidence -- web forms aren't a hard thing to do.
