Is there anyone in particular I should contact?

I tried doing it on my own but that attempt failed.

You can't get employers unless you have job seekers, and you can't get job 
seekers unless you have employers.

LUV has a reasonable supply of job seekers, employers, and regular adverts on 
their jobs list.  I expect that some other LUGs have similar (the Linux 
Australia site wasn't as good last time I checked but at least had a higher 
profile).

If I could get an existing jobs list as an RSS feed then I could kick things 
off.  All it really requires is the conditions of use for one of the jobs 
lists to include RSS syndication either by default or as a mandatory thing.
