I understand where you're coming from, but don't agree. The unstructured nature of "who's hiring" and the fact that it's entangled with the other conversations going on here are what makes it alive and different. Occasionally people who don't have any roots here try to make more traditional job posts, and those stand out like sore thumbs. There are two rules to be respected. One, don't rush to systematize things, especially human things. Two, when communities spontaneously create new patterns, that's valuable and should be attended to delicately, as if one were discovering a new species. Two companies that have done an amazing job of following spontaneous user trends are Twitter (e.g. hashtags) and Reddit (e.g. IAMA). The trick seems to be to wait a long time until the pattern is clear, then provide nonintrusive support to enhance what is already happening. The obvious temptation is to impose familiar structures (do it "right") that are foreign to the spontaneous life and end up killing what was interesting about it.
