A company called Elevator is trying to do that. From https://goelevator.com/ :

> The world’s first team hiring platform. > Assemble your best colleagues today and start receiving full-time or freelance team jobs.

Thanks for pointing out that we’re already doing this at Elevator. I’m the CEO - AMA.

Where are most of your roles located?

We have teams from all over and try to find the best for them. Our current focus is in San Francisco and Seattle, and are helping a handful of teams and companies throughout the U.S. and neighbors.

I have tried elevator and found it utterly unusable. I gave some detailed feedback in an email a while back but as it stands, it doesn't even do the basic things it says it does.

We've made improvements based on that feedback, thanks! We also sent you a message but didn't hear back. If you're still interested, we'd be happy to help. You also mentioned that we should hire your team - We'd love to if we had the capital, but we'd rather place you somewhere that can pay you a lot better than we can :)
