I like the idea - if I wasn't bootstrapping my side project I would definitely consider it so I could spend more time on the business side of things.

Side note, any reason the domain isn't hireasquad? The CTA's and content are.

I had the idea once to gather 10 engineers and "sell" the engineering power in bulk. The usual feedback from friends was it's impossible to find even 3 engineers who are currently unemployed and willing to wait until such a deal happens.

Thanks for the input. Our teams are currently employed in startups and are happy to jump on a project during their next sprint in order to pay the bills.

How does the revshare work for them? Assuming they're still being paid their usual salary for the duration of the contract, what percentage of the contract quote itself would they be expecting to get?
