Elon Musk's X launches job hiring feature for monthly fee of Rs 82,000

For a monthly fee of $1,000 (around Rs 82,300), verified firms can gain a significant edge by sharing job roles on their X profiles.

The Hiring feature also enables companies to import job data using supported Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) or through an XML feed, reports Neowin. While the current offerings of the Hiring feature might not be as extensive as those on LinkedIn, it undeniably presents a unique proposition to companies seeking to diversify their recruitment strategies.

Observers in the industry are calling this venture a significant step towards making X an “everything app.” While it may not represent an immediate challenge to LinkedIn's dominance, the move indicates X's intention to widen its scope and adopt multiple roles in the field of technology.

This move could be seen as an outcome of X's recent acquisition of Laskie, its first since Musk's takeover. The integration of Laskie's expertise into the platform's development could be instrumental in the creation and rollout of the new Hiring feature.

The platform's foray into job recruitment comes shortly after reports surfaced that X is also gearing up to introduce a job search feature. According to India.com, just a month ago, an app researcher named Nima Owji shared a screenshot of the job listing tool, which was reportedly called ‘Twitter Hiring.’

It won't cost verified organisations anything to post vacancies on X. Firms with verified status will be able to showcase a total of five job positions on their profiles.
