Twitter enters job search market

Although there hasn't been a formal announcement, the launch of a new Twitter Hiring account in July suggests that one will happen soon

In an effort to provide more services to business users, Twitter is apparently planning and rolling out support for some accounts to post job adverts straight to their profile.

The Elon Musk-owned social media network has long expressed its aim to become more than just social media, with Musk’s goals being compared to those of the Chinese WeChat juggernaut.

Twitter has now moved a step closer to imitating LinkedIn, another website used for both expressing opinions and looking for jobs, amid claims that Meta’s Threads has done the same.

“Twitter Hiring is a free feature for Verified Organizations to post jobs, feature jobs on your company profile, and attract top talent to your open positions,” Twitter user, app researcher, and web developer Nima Owji said.

The executive summary urges verified organisations to use the free feature because of Twitter’s 528 million users.

Jobs can be retrieved via an XML feed or an Applicant Tracking System, and up to five postings can be featured on a profile.

Experts say that this information shouldn’t surprise anyone who is familiar with Elon Musk’s conduct.

In May, it was reported that the site could soon be establishing its own jobs section after Twitter purchased tech talent-hiring platform Laskie.

Workweek CEO Adam Ryan has stated that the verified organisation has acquired access to the job posting tool for no additional cost.

Adam Ryan had initially shared a screenshot of the updated profile user interface, but later, Workweek’s profile information did not include any job listings.

Although there hasn’t been a formal announcement, the launch of a new Twitter Hiring account in July suggests that one will happen soon.

Meanwhile, In a significant rebranding effort, Elon Musk-owned Twitter unveiled its new logo, the ‘X,’ which replaced the original blue bird image.

Some users on Twitter disapproved of the new logo and suggested that they liked the bird symbol better.
