Doesn't that assume that contracting resources are all the same?

Not necessarily. You just need a trustworthy reputation system to go with everything else. Some things will cost more, some less, more reputation costs more, too. Relevant, in demand experience costs more.
Oh, goodie. I get to compete against people who are gaming the system to enhance their artificial reputation in the name of a market.

Do I get to trade recommendations with 30 people on "Agile Methodologies?" We can turn LinkedIn into a MMORPG! Great!

You're already competing against those people. You're just doing it in an environment that puts you at a disadvantage.
What exactly do you think a market is?
