How does this help? You still have to find people to contract and so you still have to screen the contractors. Every one that fails you was a huge waste of your time. You've got to spend time telling them what you want them to do, explaining to them your systems, your APIs, training them to your way of doing things or whatever and if they fail than all your time is in the toilet.

The only advantage I can see is you can get rid of them easily by not renewing their contract but that in itself is not a solution to finding good people in the first place. Plus it's likely to be hugely limiting. I'm not going to give up my current job and move to your city for a contract you might cancel in 3 months.
