Elon Musk’s Twitter is likely to compete with LinkedIn now. It might soon allow companies and organisations to post job listings on the micro-blogging site.

Twitter Hiring
An app researcher Nima Owji tweeted about the rumoured feature called ‘Twitter Hiring’. He suggests that Twitter will allow verified organisations to import all of their open jobs to the platform by connecting to a supported ATS or XML feed. This will allow them to add listings quickly.
As per the screenshot shared, these company accounts can choose up to 5 postings as ‘Featured jobs’ that will appear as highlights directly on the profile page.
When an applicant tap on these job posting, they are taken to the company site where they can see the details of the position and submit their applications.
Interestingly, Twitter has also created a new @TwitterHiring account but hasn’t tweeted from it yet.
This seems like a move towards Twitter becoming X – the everything app – that Elon Musk and the current Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino talked about earlier.
Notably, the company has not yet announced the feature officially. It is unclear if this feature will make its way to all verified organisations or not.
Back in May, Musk had hinted about allowing job postings on the platform. Musk had tweeted “Interesting Idea. Maybe jobs too” when a user suggested that Twitter should implement dating features.
A company, WorkWeek, has already started using the feature. The company CEO Adam Ryan tweeted the screenshot of the listings, taking a dig at Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter-rival called Threads. He wrote, “While there is a ton of hype around Zuck copying and pasting another app, Elon’s Twitter is shipping products that make a ton of sense. We just got access to posting jobs on our company page. Considering we’ve hired 20+ people from Twitter, this is a no-brainer.”
What is Twitter Hiring and How it may work
An app researcher, named Nima Owji has shared an unreleased feature (spotted by The Verge) on Twitter.
This feature is called Twitter Hiring and isn’t exclusively meant for the company. It means that Twitter users will be able to find jobs from various organisations.
Owji has shared a screenshot of the feature that notes that only verified organisations on the platform will be able to share available job postings. To “import” job listings to Twitter, companies have to connect a supported ATS or XML feed.
Owji says that the jobs will be transferred “in minutes.”
Companies will also be able to feature jobs on their profiles to attract talented candidates for the available job positions. Moreover, accounts will be able to choose up to five job postings to highlight directly on their profile page.
Twitter’s Plans to take on the Tech Majors
Twitter has been trying out a lot of things.
These changes align with Elon Musk’s vision to turn the platform into X– the everything app. The company is also going after the major tech players like Google and Apple.
Earlier, the company took on YouTube and TikTok by sharing revenue and adding more video features. Twitter may also go after news aggregators like Apple News and Google News with its Articles (previously Notes) feature.
Now, the company wants to take on Microsoft-owned LinkedIn with its job listings.
Faqs
1) Twitter Hiring for Verified Organizations Coming Soon.Details?
Ans) As tweeted by app researcher Nima Owji (@nima_owji) and first reported by TechCrunch, Twitter seems to be closer to releasing a new feature called Twitter Hiring. The new feature is said to work exactly the way its name suggests. It is meant to help companies find new talent and users find new jobs.
Owji’s tweet features a screenshot that details some important details. The first thing to note is that Twitter Hiring is a free feature for Verified Organizations. These are the companies that have a Golden verified badge on the app. The feature will let these companies post jobs, feature jobs on their profiles, and attract top talent to open positions.
A verified organization will simply need to connect a supported Application Tracking System (ATS) or XML feed to the profile. Twitter will then be able to show the latest job listings easily. A company can show up to five Featured Jobs on the profile which will be visible to anyone who visits their profile.
The report says when users will tap on a job listing, they will be taken to the company’s website for further processes like checking job details and submitting an application. It seems like the Twitter profile will only show the job title and whether it is a remote or on-site opportunity.
For some unknown reason, Workweek’s job listings on Twitter are not visible at the time of writing this. It could just be a test from the company as it looks to try the feature ahead of the release or a pre-mature rollout. Nevertheless, Twitter has created a dedicated Twitter Hiring account which is still live.
The Twitter Hiring account is currently missing a bio and it is yet to send a tweet as well. It seems like we will see some activity from the account once the feature gets announced officially.
A lot of significant things have been happening at Twitter in recent times. It recently started sharing ad revenue with verified users on the platform. An eligible user also needs to have at least 5 million impressions on his posts in each of the last three months.
2) Google employee brags about working 2 hours a day, earning Rs 4.1 crore salary; Elon Musk reacts.Details?
Ans) A viral post on Twitter claimed that a Google employee bragged about working only two hours a day while earning a jaw-dropping salary of $500,000 (Rs 4.1 crore). The revelation caught the attention of none other than Elon Musk, who reacted with a simple “wow.”
The post was made by a Twitter user with the handle @nearcyan, who recounted a dinner conversation with two Google employees. The conversation led to the employees engaging in a friendly competition, boasting about who worked the fewest hours. Astonishingly, one of them claimed to be earning an impressive $500,000 while working only two hours per day.
Elon Musk, known for his involvement in numerous ventures, including Tesla and SpaceX, was seemingly impressed by the revelation, expressing his surprise with a single word, “wow.”
The author of the tweet later shared that even though the victor of the challenge earned such a hefty sum, they really don’t win because they live in San Francisco, California. Popularly known as ‘Bay Area’, the locality is famous for extremely high housing price. @Nearcyan went on to confirm that the victor is not living the life at all.
