You're not the target audience.

And also, you wouldn't be donating your time. The whole point is that a company puts up a contest for their own employees, who are presumably getting paid to participate.

So by participating in this, a company is making their own employees more attractive to recruiters?

No the company is getting some extra structure to their bug bash with some prizes provided by Amazon, as well as being able to recruit other people by pointing out how good their current people are (because they are on the leaderboard).
