Do you think more of a peer based approach to recruiting would have any legs? I built something a little while back that was a kind of "keep track of the people you'd hire", and anyone on your list had the power to grant you visibility to various parts of their profile (current employer, whether they are looking or not, what kind of role they are looking for, etc). Never targeted recruiters as a potential user, but I guess that probably isn't a bad use case. I'd much rather get contacted by a recruiter (albeit a recriuter who was known to me) with "hey I see you're looking for X, let's catch up to discuss opportunities Y and Z" as opposed to the cold calls / linkedin messages that are the current status quo.
