Can't job listing sites just make the cost of each active listing a lot more expensive. If you want to list a job per month it's $10 bucks, but the next one is like $100, then $200, etc. Eventually holding open random speculative listings becomes expensive. If companies prove they hired people, then they're allowed to have more openings at the lower rate. Basically make a track record for hiring open up more cheap listings.

There’s no incentive for the job boards to do that. Perhaps a model where candidates paid for access to the job board might fare better, as they need to prove their quality to candidates.
Wouldn't the inventive be that jobs listed there are real and people pay attention to them?
