Google-maps style star map to aid corp recruitment searches

Before I make my suggestion I should note that the current state of corp recruitment is a far sight better than it was 6 years ago when we all just anchored small containers in front of noob stations (not that people don't still do that) but at least we have the new and improved corp recruitment search function, which has been yet improved since last year or whenever it was initially rolled out.

What I propose is to make everyone's life easier, recruiter and recruitee alike so that we don't have to search through information-loaded but incredibly busy forums, the spam-fest of the recruitment channel and the in-game corp-search function just to get all the info we need.

The proposal:

Integrate the corp search function into the EVE map with filterable options for timezone, location, corp size, activity types, etc with selectable information available via the map interface itself.

You could have:

1. Sov-style overlays when selecting a specific corporation to see the area it declares to operate within
1a. and a corp-selectable OPTION to automatically propagate real time pilot location statistics (useful for highsec corps only I suspect)
2. All the capacity of the current corp-search function with an astro-location ability so people who only want to operate in a particular area, or who are looking for corps in a specific area can find who they are looking for.
3. See how many corporations have offices in a system at a glance, to suit your desire for busy/isolated areas.
