Micropayment systems don't work well because there are free options. Convincing people to pay any amount of money is incredibly hard.
Would micropayments result higher quality? Maybe, but until you have a critical mass no one can really tell.
Free options are more likely reach critical mass and dominate. Paid options thus die off, starved of attention.

I pay $10 for those and I get exactly what on the site, even if the news updates slowly or the forum is empty. If I had to pay $100 for 10 applications and still get ghosted or auto rejected, I don't know what I'd do. That's just theft at that point.And the incentives for recruitment are just perverse at that point. Don't hire, just make a good job app.
