You're confusing copy-editing/proofreading with translation.
They are two different things...

I do copy-editing and review articles for Canadian academic journals.
Copy-editing is NOT an easy job. Just as there are translators
who can't translate, there are people who simply can't write.

The amount of time for copy-editing/proofreading an article very
often depends on how well/clearly written the orginal manuscript is,
rather than the competency of the editor.
It's much easier to reject the article and tell the author to
re-write.

It's fine if you prefer an alternative method of evaluation to
evaluate the applicant-translator(s) who reply your ad,
but before you make any judgement you really need to know a thing or two
about translation as a profession.
