Wouldn't any company unscrupulous enough to advertise a job opening without a genuine intention to hire simply disregard such a rule?
Thinking out loud:
* What if there were a bit more restrictions to posting on Who's hiring? Perhaps a counter of how many times a profile has posted, with a max of N posts allowed per M months, or something.
* Would also be nice to have some feedback from HN profiles on outcome of the job posting. Add a link to the job posting to your about page:
... this way you can attempt to disregard the feedback if the profile posting it seems bogus. Posters wouldn't want to hurt their own reputation by lying about the quality of a job posting.
Anyway, maybe something like that would be out of scope for HN, but just thinking out loud here :-).
