Also, the internetz tell me that producers do the financing, but do not necessarily have control of what happens on set, or who is hired to work there — that’s often the job of the director.

Sometimes a producer might not even be on set very much if it all. Think of a company owner with multiple stores in an area who might only spend one day a week in any specific store. He has managers and assistant managers and team leads to handle the meat and potatoes of the day-to-day for each store.
