Combo of Linked-In and Facebook! You game?

Almost 2 years back when we were about to make first implementation of our recruitment based product we heard networking sites picking up. We at that time did had a LAMP based online community product Campus-Connect, which dealt with campus crowd. Our new product primarily focussed on Recruitment Management for Corporates and Consultants.

Our role models were Maxhire and Taleo, which captured majority of the online recruitment market in US. When facebook became so popular, Taleo aired that they will combine with facebook and give some kind of service. The idea attracted me a lot and i did write a spec of a feature for our product, which never got implemented for some silly reasons.

In recruitment world, Head-hunting is supposed to be the toughest job and getting leads is very costly and hit-ratios are not that exaggerating. So I thought of mining and churn out the leads for each candidate along with some tips to talk depending on the type of lead.

I am still bullish in making something like it... perhaps this is the time I should start working on it.
