I disagree. Developers find jobs, freelancers find clients. Developers may find jobs through recruiters, but recruiters don't sell client work to freelancers (sure, anyone can take a referral fee, but this isn't the recruiters business model.)
I believe you're vocab is also a bit off. Clients don't look for freelancers, they look for professional service providers.
A lot of these providers (those who are doing it right) also have resources dedicated to sales and marketing and a lot of this happens locally. So, the connection channels are often SEO (client Googling for local dev shops,) Ads (local Adsense and other ad placements,) Networks (referrals,) and good old fashioned cold calling.
I have already built my own application for what you are proposing (scraping a clipping is pretty easy,) and I may not want for my sleuthing (I assume that's where your related info would come from) to be thrown in a shark pool. So, no, I wouldn't pay for something like this.
