Why? I find people on there. I think you need to choose carefully, put them on smaller jobs and fire fast. I find trying to work through issues never works. As soon as they show lack of ability/attention to detail etc they go unless you've really established a relationship and know its a one off. I would guesstimate every 5 or so people you find someone good and keep using them.

How much effort do you put in to the filtering/screening process? Or do you pick quickly and see how they do on the job?

Probably more effort than most... I look through profiles, their skills, stats and reviews and contact directly. I never (after doing it in early days) post jobs and see who replies. Worse, these days you get spammed with junk. People even track your email/Skype down and contact you directly.
