Here is an additional thought, though half-baked.  Its possible to take the
job postings offsite and leave that arena to people and orgs who already
manage that content well.

There are a number of decently established "find a job" type of websites for
developers, one I have had success with is rentacoder.com (just an example,
not a definitive).  Maybe part of our Drupal community should colonize a
category within a site like this, and send our job postings there.  The
advantage is that its a place many people already approach with finding and
offering all varieties of work, not just Drupal.  I am sure that there are
ways to cross post and aggregate listings from outside channels.
