I agree with all the comments everyone is making. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, and it won't, as long as they have a never ending stream of new IC's to pick up the work. It's a numbers game to them, they don't care who does the work as long as it gets done, as cheaply as possible.
Don't fool yourself, they may work with you and even bonus hard to fill jobs/ areas, buy once they have built their base of contractors they wont. That's why they hire anyone who breathes. Take a look at some of the threads on the mystery shopping forum regarding the trend of lower fees for mystery shopping. I have some gig apps on my phone that pay $2 to $4 for jobs that used to pay $12 to $15 just a few years ago. They are hoping people pick these up as they are out and about. And they do, they get snapped up quick.
I agree that the business relationships should be a two way street, but it never will be. I am so glad that I will be fully retired in a few years and not have to play the game.
Most merchandising companies in particular get themselves in trouble with this "anybody that breathes" mentality.
1. The more people you have on board that are warm bodies, the more you spread out the work. And usually, it's the good and professional people who take enough and find work elsewhere to make up for the $$ they've lost.. Leaving nothing in the workforce of "company A" but warm bodies. Usually with no experience, no professionalism, no clue what they're doing.
2. The company, who originally thought the more the merrier, now find themselves losing contracts right and left. Warm bodies aren't very reliable. They don't care much about quality. The fake stuff up (see the thread on that one). Warm bodies, from my experience, are looking for a mostly free ride.
3. I'll bet you the quality on those $2 - $4 jobs is well .... $2 - $4 worth of quality. *shrug* The warm bodies around here are picking them up, like where you are. I won't do them. I have more respect for my time than that.

@adilb don't worry about their scoring system, they will eventually come back with the new platform and new names like Cast Corp, Cast Retail, Cast Shop, Cast Force, Cast Power, Cast XYZ.. at that point this point/score will not matter
