I also like the idea, but as nemesis1637, google doc powered forms are far too minimal. To me, the whole site, company, everything, is too minimal.

When it comes to hiring, saying something like, "These are people you will want to hire. They have been vetted by startup veterans." Is a bold statement to make. But it's not a very believable statement, not from looking at temps.io. What makes a person a startup veteran, what companies have you done this for, how many, why is temps.io uniquely qualified to determine if a resume is bs or if the individual would actually be a good fit. Are you actually doing phone interviews to screen people. Are you meeting with people in person. Are you just a service that will collect resumes and send them to companies. As i'm sure people need work, you will get contacted. As companies DO need people, you will get contacted. But if anyone put up a site that had a standard sign-up with an extremely generically awesome mission statement, they would get contacted as well. People would sign up in the small chance anything panned out. This may even result in some sort of, "what do we have to lose" scenario for companies. But if you want to grow this into an actual business, provide more info on your site. Don't just answer questions in a comment thread, tell people why they should consider using temps.io on your website, without all the marketing fluff.
