There have certainly been many good responses. I'm currently one of those "middle-men" trying to match the talent with the career opportunities at clients. I have a slightly different perspective based on a few years of project experience as well.
1. Career Developers are very bright people and many have noticed that they can double or treble their income by working on contract on projects.
2. Young developers quickly noticed or are encouraged to take on other project responsibilities so that their development skills become less than 50% of the time they spend on the job.
Combine this with the fact that many companies want 2 years commercial experience (by which time, young developers are looking to move away from development to earn more money) and you'll always have a skill shortage.
From my perspective, it is more than the skills which make the match though - and the match making is not easy.
