Perhaps biz.jobs.offered for commercial headhunter postings?

I like this solution.  I don't think headhunter ads should appear in
the mainstream groups, even if they may be useful, for the same
reason other ads don't appear in relevant mainstream groups: 'cause
that ain't how it works.  Biz.all, on the other hand, was created to
address this.

Last time I looked, the general guidelines for commercial postings on
Usenet and the specific guidelines for headhunter postings in misc.-
jobs.offered were pretty similar.  The principal rules were:

	* Identify the posting as being a commercial/headhunter posting.
	* Keep it factual, avoiding hype; headhunters should advertise
	  only in connection with actual openings.
	* Don't post for the same product or opening more than once.
	* And as always, post only to the specific relevant group(s).

Seems perfectly reasonable to me to accept headhunter postings in
can.jobs on similar terms.
