That makes about zero sense. The best company I ever worked for--most personal, best paying for what was involved, and easiest to work with was one guy with a laptop. No job board, he picked up the phone and a conversation with him was a delight as he was asking for a favor and was truly appreciative of what was being done for him. Reports were submitted as Word documents as email attachments.
My next best had issues with a website they rented space for reporting shops, but the spouses did a good job of communicating, getting payments processed and being appreciative of work done.
Another guy was pretty much working on his own and reporting was done by excel spreadsheets. Good paying jobs, basic trust of shoppers.
Gal who runs her business from home with no job board. Wonderful paying shops, nice person, appropriately appreciative.
Compare to big companies with big servers, low cost 'know nothing' staff that can make no decisions and funky job boards, give me the little guys every time.
