Ask HN :Would a totally free jobs site work?

One thing comes to mind. Craigslist. And we all know how spammy anything on Craigslist turns out.

Exactly what I am afraid of. But maybe there can be a crowdsourced mechanism to prevent that from happening.

Assuming these job seekers have money to even click on those ads...

And there are bunch of head hunters/job agencies that spam dice and monster website. If you can some how filter them out or let the user filter them out then it would be neat.

I thought what we see right now (things like http://careers.stackoverflow.com/) were a response to the entirely free, generalist websites already having been tried.
