Imagine a site (local to your area, say San Francisco) with a searchable directory of companies. Each company has a customized profile page with branding and postings.

But each profile also has links to your dept.'s LinkedIn and Twitter accounts and Facebook page allowing active/passive job seekers a way to begin networking with your company's recruiters, rather than forcing them to try to find the right person via the various restricted search tools on the above mentioned networks. (Facebook and LinkedIn restrict results by network reach and Twitter's Summize is still very limited).

And when I say your "dept.'s accounts," I mean having an overall account for LinkedIn and Twitter. The benefits to that are: 1. When a recruiter leaves a company, the network they built goes with it. A company feels a sense of security knowing they can build a network and retain it over the years with a main account. 2. Rather than linking to a single recruiter's account, a main account allows all recruiters at the company to benefit by picking and choosing who to approach (depending on their assignments). Think of it like a big pool of potential candidates that your team gets to strategically handle, rather than handle on your own with no strategy.

Would your dept. pay to be on such a directory? (Keep in mind the customized page as well)
