I think this could probably be handled using crowd sourcing approach within a company. The problem that I see with typical job postings is the tendency for people to over-tailor resumés (as is mentioned in the article).

I mentioned it in another comment already, but this problem is what I'm tackling with They Meet You (http://theymeetyou.com). At a minimum, I'll be using it where I work, but check it out if you want.

How it works is really simple: You can send a message to anyone that proves they work for a company, if you interest them then they can share their contact information with you.

Doomed to fail. If the company doesn't hire the person, that person considers me responsible. That opens me to potential legal liability. Why expose your employees to that risk?

The biggest problem I see in hiring people is that good resumes get filtered out by HR departments because the resumes don't have the precise keywords. Fix that by hiring smarter HR people.
