Two thoughts ... First, I think you'd need to differentiate it from LinkedIn, as all of the benefits I'm reading here seem to be covered, except for some of the more cosmetic aspects (CSS). Second, I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing people would pay a yearly fee for. I think people are willing to pay when they're in a time of need, but most of the time, it's hard to see the value of paying for a service that's there as a "someday I'll need this, maybe" service. Note that job boards (the flipside of this app) charge for specific job listings ... companies don't generally pay for a "retainer" service that they can then post to when they have a need ... they pay a per-job fee. Maybe an annual subscription would work, but, again, communicating the value would be important. Keep in mind, of course, that HN might not be the best place to do market research on this, as few people here are interested in keeping a resume and applying to work for someone else. Most here (me, for example) want to be captain of their own ship. So feedback here could be skewy.
