I don't think so. If you need external support to fix a problem, it's because of their skills, not because of their availability. Most businesses can shift feature development for some weeks/months until an expert is available (if they can't find one) but an instant, crappy solution wont help them. It's about skills + price. Not about availability. I don't know many freelancers with full-time exclusive projects that last more than 12 months.
