The excessive invites are due to a 10% finders fee incentive based on the hired person's salary. I'm not so sure the rates are sustainable (what are the headhunter's rates in general???), but the basic concept is interesting. I understood it as a self cleaning system - which may be the intended garden path.... It also looks a little like a pyramid - I wouldn't know how to prove that, though.
