This feels like a good chance to do things that don't scale.
We write meaningful sized checks to recruiting agencies that look for people on LinkedIn and pitch them on taking our jobs.

Recruiters try to build systems more robust than cold-outreach on LinkedIn but most of my hires in the past year have come from cold-outreach tactics. They have databases of candidates but most of that database isn't actually interested in a new job at any given time and it's as productive to work the database as it is to work LinkedIn unless the recruiter has a friendly relationship with a specific candidate. Regardless, you can't sell a candidate to multiple employers in any given 1-2 year period so you always need new candidates anyhow.
If I had more free-time I would totally try doing this myself. The hardest part is getting HR to let you recruit for their open roles.
