I try to spread the word on the Stackoverflow awesomeness whenever I get a chance: How about a ”Recruiter badge” which you obtain when you’ve managed to get XX (10, 50 or 100) number of people to sign up AND they reached a certain level of reputation like 50, 100, something to indicate they’re active on the site.

This is basically a simple referral scheme: When you sign up, you can enter the ID of the SO user who was kind enough to tell you about the site.

UPDATE

To all the downvoters: Don't we want to reward behaviour that benefits the community?

How about providing a "Recruiter badge" which you obtain when you've managed to get XX (10, 50 or 100) number of people to sign up and they reach a certain level of reputation like 50 or 100... something to indicate they’re active on the site?
