In that scenario, is everyone hired on a contract basis? Do good workers get dumped after successful projects simply because the requirement they were desired for is complete?

I think companies hire for general skills not just because they aren't clear about goals, but because they're dealing with people. I get why you like the idea but you can't just malloc and delete people, they need some stability. And since the company probably won't be dropping their tech stack with each new project, hiring for knowledge in an area rather than knowledge of a narrower task seems reasonable?
