Hmm... two thoughts about this
1) why not use the opportunity to charge people to advertise
positions? it seems very standard... and a wasted opportunity to do it
for nothing.
Well this is Open Source Environment. However I think that a paypal (for
mediawiki fundation) button could be a good addition. I.e. no fixed charge
but if you find this site useful make a donation.
2) IMO Wiki pages are terrible for non-wiki purposes... jobs board
screams "threaded discussions/forum style
environment" to me. A wiki's
not intended to perform every conceivable purpose for every
conceivable website. So why not use that is designed to handle
threaded discussion, ie forum software?
Much the same is with -
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/ConsultantsForHire. What for start
discussion forum - just a contact point (i.e. job board) rest can be further
discussed @ user talk pages. Just a more wiki-way of contacting potential
employer with potential employee.
"A wiki's not intended to perform every conceivable purpose for every
conceivable website"
Maybe you should change the mailing list you forum propaganda spy;) Just
joking - I think it is possible to do a lot with MW (discussion is quite
easy in fact). Maybe a challenge - name a purpose I will name a wiki-like
solution.

I'm sure many of the forum software teams use wikis to write their
documentation. see? use software for their strengths,
not for
EVERYTHING :)
ps to Aretai. if my ideas succeed I hope it is because they are good
and I present them well and they meet the right ears, not because I'm
female.
cheers
Brianna
