I'm a tech recruiter and job boards are one of the worst sources of candidates both for agency recruiters and companies. The best candidates aren't looking for jobs and hence will rarely visit job boards.
Companies like Hired & AngelCo are taking a marketplace approach to the hiring process. Arguably, the biggest issues with these processes is that you can't attract passive candidates.
If you can figure out a process that attracts passive candidates, you will win the recruiting industry. I think companies like HackerRank are in the right direction by being a platform for recruiting, but not in an overt way.
A lot of developers use HackerNews, but not for the recruitment aspect, but YC companies have an advantage because they can post to the job board.
As a developer, why would your job board be a massive difference to recruiters/companies? Chicken and Egg problem, but with subtle differences.
