That said, for recruiters out there, I have some suggestions:

*  Learn a little about the list. Following the policies (which Nancy made a
good shot at) is a good step.

*  Track the other postings on the list and where they are in terms of skills
and compensation. I can't imagine that a recruiter would skip this for
competitive research reasons alone;

*  If possible, bounce the posting off someone you trust in the field. I don't
mean spam random contacts, but show the listing to the team it's going to and
collect feedback.

*  If members of said team are on the list, have them post it. I'm much more
likely to read and potentially pass along a job post from [any one of ~40+
contributors] than some random recruiter.
