It's a good site and with the popularity of Ruby/Rails, I think it could be very popular.
The biggest problem right now is that there's little incentive to actually pay you, so it's essentially a directory. You're already telling me these developers are pre-approved, so I can assume they're pretty good. As they have personal websites and Github profiles links on most users, what's to prevent me from just going through and finding some I like, then reaching out to them to discuss?
If you want to make money, you may need to change the method a bit. Charge of access or make it hard to contact users on your own or have an explicit policy against this like Elance. $100 isn't much to people looking for Rails devs but there has to be at least $100 of perceived value in your service.
