David,
I would certainly use a real time database to hire temps. I donot think that this should be a free service. I would prefer to pay for something good. The difficulty is how to do this without eroding the amount the employee gets.
One easy way to start this would be a database for proper free lancers, sub-contractors etc, which BAJR does not have at present.
I think what you are suggesting has potential. What I am after is a cheap easy fast service that would give me what I want.
Given that one of the difficulties in archaeology is continuity of employment surely anything which reduces this is no bad thing. In the various periods of unemployment I had before I set up in business I was grateful for literally anything. It is far from ideal in the long term but in the short term such things do have there benefits.
Being self employed in many respects is just an extreme form of temping in many respects.
