I am contemplating to start a job search website that connects the applicants directly to the companies. I have a few ideas that will make it a good deal for both companies as well as for job applicants e.g. merging duplicate CV submission by competing recruiters, geo-fencing of job applications, first class support for remote and freelance jobs etc.

However most of it sounds so commonsensical that I wonder why it hasn't been done already. Perhaps I am trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

So I wanted to know how you see the current situation with job sites (linkedin, stack overflow careers, indeed, monster and plenty others). I have anecdotal evidence that candidates hate the polluted/obfuscated job advertisements while hiring managers are sick of receiving far too many unsuitable CV's.

What do you think is broken with the status quo and how/what could/should be improved?

All views for or against the venture are equally appreciated.

P.S. I am aware of the enormity of the challenge of entering a very competitive market and terrible odds of success. For now I am just looking at the problem as a problem solver and not as a sound investment.
