It's going to be awfully hard for any taxing authority (at least in the US) to characterize a contractor hired through a service (in the manner described in the article)as an employee:

1. The contractor presumably has other clients/customers 2. The contractor is not in your facility 3. The contractor is using his/her own tools and equipment

There are a number of other tests, but this is actually probably one of the "safer" ways to hire contractors.
