The recruiting industry is ripe for disruption. Most headhunters use nothing more than keyword-matching software to find candidates. How many recruiting emails do you get where a recruiter finds one obscure line in your email, and presumes you are an expert in the field?

I'm thinking some additional intelligence can be added to the process. Figure out how many OSS projects I have contributed to; figure out how many Github commits I have; figure out who I'm connected to on LinkedIn; what conferences have I spoken at?

Its this sort of metadata, not my cold set of resume skills, that will help employers find a proper match.

"figure out how many Github commits I have" -> That (and the others) are awesome ideas, thanks. Exactly the kind of features that add value that I was looking for.
