I think better than Yet Another Job Board would be its inverse. Candidates, especially the busy/currently employed ones who are casually searching for greener pastures, need an interface that's focused on their needs. I've been thinking about how to solve this but I don't know what will actually work.
To my mind, the biggest missing piece is fast-track approval/interview process. Protracted dances around candidacy just waste a ton of time and energy for everyone, candidates and employers, and they're very frustrating for candidates when the employer passes without substantial comment. We should just skip that whole shebang, generate some interest based on something real, send some IMs or async communication in some iterative approval process (the candidate will at least know what group of messages excluded their candidacy), in hopes that this minimizes friction and frustration for both parties.
AngelList is probably the closest thing to this, but its scope is narrow and it seems hard for good candidates to differentiate themselves from spammers or people without any legitimate background, meaning it's hard to pay attention.
