It turns out I did not make it clear that this is a satirical website and not to be taken too seriously. I apologize for any confusion, and will be publishing something shortly about what I learned from the process. If for some reason I do find out about an offer that fits the published criteria, I will pass it along as promised, and other than distributing the aforementioned writeup will not use any of the contact information collected through the site.
"Creator here. Regular job boards don't provide these lucrative opportunities. I understand that jobs with incredibly high compensation (university president, CEO, hedge fund manager, etc) are usually filled internally or from private networks. I put this together in a couple hours to test that idea."
I'm guessing you know this already, but there are also search firms that specialize in hiring executives.
An executive search firm that's able to find candidates who would be suitable for jobs that pay $1mm+ in total comp is going to be using the network of people who they already know in order to find those candidates. At that level of comp you're relying on relationships and recommendations in order to find candidates (along side, most likely, some judicious use of LinkedIn) rather than any form of job board.
I guess what I'm trying to say is it doesn't seem like there's enough in common with either the people posting jobs of this type or the people looking for them that you'll be able to get a critical mass of either.
What kind of research did you do with folks on either side of the marketplace to determine that this would be a viable idea?
Edit: I'm glad you like the idea. Definitely should not have extended the tone of taking the site seriously into the comments. My Mistake.
For those listening, I have no idea if this person actually knows me in real life, as the account does not have any identifying information.
