Is this an appropriate use of the list?
This is a serious question - we have positions come available from time to time and in the past haven't posted here in the belief that it wouldn't be appropriate, so if it is ok we'll add it to our recruitment strategy for technical network team members.
Personally, as an employer, I think it shouldn't be OK as I like introduce my team members to the list and to encourage them to subscribe, and it seems odd to encourage subscription to a list that I know will deliver inducements to leave us.

With all the "please contact me off list" posts and the people that seem to get precious about classifying these posts as "valid mailing list traffic" I'd be guessing that the answer to this question is a resounding "yes !" after all, this is supposed to be a generic contact list right ? and recruitment is simply another way of getting in contact with people that you want to do a job. I say go hard, this is a great forum for findign new recrits and contacting people that you would normally have to call a helpdesk or something for. -- Steve.
