We thought of doing something like this for college students with crowdmarkup.com a while ago - didn't follow through after the first lean startup machine - best of luck.

My Suggestion - Build a 1 sided tool to get jobseeker contact info - solve 1 side of the chicken/egg problem first. Maybe some type of resume critique application - checks for spelling errors, makes some simple suggestions like using action words and using more qualitative numbers. Maybe matches keywords in a job description to the resume and gives a match score.

Also, make sure you know the # of job seekers you want in advance so you know the milestone you're looking for and it's not an arbitrary number.

Finally, make sure when users submit their resumes for the critique, they consent that it might also go into the next version of the application.
