What would you look for in a website for recruiting marketplace?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for advice about a marketplace we are building that connects job candidates and recruiters.

We have launched a website for users to crowdsource their salary prediction based on their LinkedIn profile. Our goal is to inform our members about their value in the market using the wisdom of crowds.

In just a month after launch, we have thousands of members who made tens of thousands of salary predictions on the site. Now we are working on the part where we will help participating users meet employers who are willing to pay their worth.

I have a couple of questions:

What would you like to see in such a marketplace where recruiters contact candidates if the position can meet(or exceed) the candidate's salary prediction/expectation?
What would make it appealing to you to start using such a marketplace website for recruiting?

Thank you for reading. Please feel free to contact me for additional info on our current status and plans.

Very good. I commend you ands your team, Gozde.

What would you like to see in such a marketplace where recruiters contact candidates if the position can meet(or exceed) the candidate's salary prediction/expectation? COMPLETE resume (or equivalent) and contact information on all candidates
What would make it appealing to you to start using such a marketplace website for recruiting? 1) Large numbers of highly-in-demand people (with the above) populating it. 2) Free to recruiters.

i'm interested in hearing more.
