This gave me a terrible idea for a business idea of dubious ethics.

First create a ghost application bot that creates fake resumes which fit the job descriptions. Then once you have calls or contact back wanting to proceed in the process mark off the job as real. Compile a database of all jobs that are verified as actually conducting a hiring process and thus are probably not ghost jobs. Sell subscription access to said database of validated jobs.

Better idea: Charge both recruiters and applicants to contact each other. Recruiters should be charged more because they are generally the spammers. The nuances can be worked out. But people can earn a small amount in the process.
