The point at which you create real value is when a person is offered and accepts a job. Trying to charge people just to use the service while they are looking probably won't work since if they are out of a job paying for a service might not seem like a good idea. Although somebody looking for a new job while currently employed, might be willing to pay for some extra features. This gives me four ideas where to collect money. For the person without a job looking you can collect money from them after they found a job with a donate feature, with ads - seeing as though they are looking for jobs this can lead to highly relevant ads, or with offering them continued access to special features after they have found a job which could come in handy later on. For a person currently employed they might be willing to pay for some premium features TBD. Or as others have said with a job board that companies pay to post to, or some affiliate program with other job boards - could be related to you advertising scheme. So a number of good possibilities there.
