Interesting idea, maybe jobs too

Competition for LinkedIn jobs?

If Twitter launched a hiring platform similar to LinkedIn’s, which currently attracts over 52 million job seekers, it could increase Twitter’s revenue and user engagement.

Twitter charges companies a minimum of $1,000 per month for the Verified Organizations program and related costs Advantages.

It will (hopefully) encourage more Twitter users to post quality content that would make a positive impression on potential employers.

Benefits of Using Twitter for Hiring Employees

Recruiters could benefit from the platform’s widespread use and diverse user base, potentially attracting a wider range of candidates from different geographic locations and different professional backgrounds.

Using hashtags in job postings could help streamline employer and job seeker searches, as individuals can easily find job postings that are relevant to their interests or expertise.

Twitter’s retweet feature would also increase the visibility of job postings and allow them to reach even further through network connections.

Overall, the social nature of the platform would encourage a more personal and interactive recruitment process, giving candidates the opportunity to connect with potential employers and gain insight into the company culture.
