(Here's a quick review of network science.) For the most part, the folks building recruitment advertising networks are not thinking this way about their creations (with the possible exceptions of CareerCast and to a lesser extent, NicheBoards).

It's far more like a television network, with its focus on distribution, than it is like a network in the internet or telecommunications sense. Most Recruitment advertising networks facilitate the placement of the same ad in a number of places. From a customer perspective, the value proposition is "wider distribution equals better results". With several important caveats, broader distribution of an ad may well result in better results.

More distribution for its own sake usually results in larger quantities of results rather than higher quality results. However, improved targeting in message delivery can deliver the message to precisely the audience you wish to reach.
