I really like the anonymous angle. Suspending the unspoken reality of bias and profiling by employers, the point of job postings is to fill a skill void, I think. The idea of embellishing the recommendations seems like it would require some sort of validation of the recommendation giver...so yeah, eventually there needs to be some verifiabilty.

There is one piece of non-anonymity, you know who you're repping. The system only cares if there's a path from you to the target, so there will never be a path from you to a bot unless a real person you indirectly know reps a bot. 1000 bots can rep each other and nobody will care.
