Good point. I'm not savvy with regards to how they both work, but from the outside they do seem more organized. If I think about it, I see way more recruitment posts for manga groups than I do anime groups. I tend to subscribe to both anime and manga RSS feeds for groups I watch or read, so I occasionally see posts.
Although that could be bi-product of manga being on paper (so to speak). A lot of times you'll see recruitment pages in their releases. With anime, you don't really have that luxury of simply adding a page. Of course you can edit the video to include an ad at the beginning or end, though I'm not sure how much fans would enjoy that.
