I'd find this very interesting myself, although I'd have concerns about potential employers in some ways. As long as I was able to provide a list of employers I DON'T want to work for up front and have those auto-filtered from my blind interviews I'd be totally open to trying out this process through a recruitment firm. I personally tend to pick my employers broadly on three questions: 1) Are they doing something that's actually innovative? 2) Do they behave ethically in the marketplace towards their employers, vendors, and customers? 3) Is the position located somewhere that I'd be okay with living?

If the answer to any of those is "no", I won't even bother applying/interviewing and I automatically turn down recruiters from that company. #2 in particular is a big one, there are way too many businesses in the world from startups to big corps that behave unethically, and I refuse to be a part of it.

Being able to work with a recruiting platform where I can detail these qualifications up-front and trust that they'll be respected would give me the piece of mind to put myself in a situation where I'd be matched to an employer based on their needs and my qualifications without concern that I'd be getting screwed somehow.
