Would a Talent Agent work for remote workers? Lots of engineers I know would love to work remotely, but when they tried, they couldnt find high paying consistent jobs without putting in considerable effort marketing and building relationships. Could be worth looking into.

Check out TopTal.com. They're a marketplace, not an agency, but achieve similar outcomes.

This is an interesting idea. I expect there may be some opportunity here, at least while working remotely isn't ubiquitous.

Only a few people can make remote work for them. Its hard, you have be very focused and well planned. And you have to find other social opportunities. I dont see a lot of companies, specially startups allowing it.

I would suggest joining Toptal. It's not that hard and you do have a flexibility regarding working hours and availability. You can read about Toptal experience at http://cakecoded.com/article/toptal-review or https://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20141023135603-2...

I wrote the last one, and I'll be happy to connect you to my co-workers that can answer any other question.
