This sounds like an interesting project. Do you intend to report abuse before blacklisting? I suspect that at least some of the problems could be mitigated simply by reporting the behavior to the appropriate manager within the recruiter's organization. And if that doesn't help then it wouldn't be unreasonable to blacklist that entire organization.
