For example: Every company renting out its employees is taking the bounty. These bounties are enormous. I've had a job for years where I cost 12 times my before taxes pay. I've also had a short term job where I cost 15 times my salary. Previous employer took 100%, current one takes 80%. I think that bounty is much to large, it doesn't reflect the amount of effort rather how rare it is to have someone organize the hours properly AND keep employees working.
I think there is lots of room to redefine the relationship, offer a superior product at lower fees. If I'm paid 3 times my salary I don't mind not getting hours 50% of the time and be available 24/7.
Scripting the contract without bugs is really hard but who knows, the right guy might come along? 5000 Euro is nothing if you get a good employee for it.

If your question is “maybe our twist is new/different/better?” Answer is no.

It’s an idea constantly being reinvented and failing.
You might think it’s an opportunity because you don’t see anyone else doing it. That’s because people have been doing trying and failing at this exact concept for at least 15 years.
There’s a deep and wide startup graveyard dedicated specifically to job sites with bounties/referrals.
There, I just saved you years of pointless effort. Expend your energy money time relationships and life on something else.
Unless of course you think you’ll be doing it right/better/different/with a twist/with better timing etc. in which case you must understand you should go straight to the very very large section of that startup graveyard dedicated to those who were smarter than all the others who tried, then pour your money into the next open grave.
