We're working to address some of the issues raised in this piece, by creating a new way of working on Open Source.

Companies post their issues on our platform and contributors are incentivised by getting to know a company, a monetary reward and the potential of raising their profile with the company to get hired.

We're looking for feedback so if anyone has any thoughts - https://works-hub.com/issues

Others have tried what you seem to be trying and didn't work, how are you going to convince people who decide to use tech because it is free, to pay for it and pay for more than insultingly low scraps? And once someone does accept and the work is done, what happens if they are not the main developer of the software that was worked on and the developers decide they do not want to accept the work? Where does that leave your customers who most likely (especially if their initial major motivation was free stuff) wont want to pay someone fix/update the patches every time a new version is released nor be willing to have their own fork?

I might be missing something of course since your site doesn't work. Every time i tried to click on a link nothing happened. Firefox's dev console had this warning:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.segment.io/v1/p.

Looks like your tracking is broken.

BTW, i'm kinda curious, how come you have "25,000+ software engineers on WorksHub" but only 8 issues, all of them from your own company?
