i think it's cool to post this, but you know what i think would be cool for Krop? if there was a 'search' tool like the gor-locator Etsy uses. i think a visual search tool would be much more effective than a field/line item one?
just a thought.
oh, and this one looks pretty inteeresting:

what about them having a "talent available" section where you can look at peoples work that are looking for gigs.-

Actually, I thought about throwing my two cents to their Krop idea as well my actual job is with an HR Firm that does the hiring for an alarming amount of Fortune 500 companies, and others.
Though, our focus is usually on multiple job openings across an entire company (location wise), and potentially hundreds of thousands of applicants.
But I do see a very real possibility of improving the end result to their clients with a few changes (to a process I'm sure is already working quite well and may not even need any improvements if it is bringing in the cash, haha).
Biometrics!
Perhaps some Konsulting, heh?

^ just solidifies the fact why have I been on a design site all these years, hahah.

You're a suit in an HR firm, why do you come here?
Just an honest question.

my guess the money is better and there is less deadline stress, and a normal work week is probably an actual normal work week

The money is comparable (com-prah-ble), the actual normal work week is non-existent. I pretty much get to make my own hours, show up at my desk when I want but it is the same "until the job is done" mentality that has me working 60/70+ hours some weeks.
I started out programming when I first touched a computer, but have always been very visual as well which seemed to be an odd mix to everyone I met, and figured a good mesh would be someone who could do both well with a computer ... now I rarely do either go figure, heh.
It's a weird shift, the more I program the more I want to get into design; the more I design, the more I just want to do back-end programming.
I really took a particular (and I imagine particularly famous) Robert Heinlein's line(s) from "Nowhere to Love" to heart when I was young (there's a pun there somewhere), and try to fill my life with as many activities and interests as I possibly can:
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Plus, I know how asinine it is when "suits" chime in with ridiculous statements to programmers and the creative bunch ... and it gives me a good footing when those ridiculous statements come from someone like me who can at least empathize with them beforehand, haha.And I like everyone here.
And trying to make people laugh, haha.
