X (formerly Twitter) has unveiled a new feature enabling organisations to advertise job vacancies on its platform. This move follows speculations from last month suggesting X’s intent to launch a service rivaling LinkedIn.

The newly introduced “Hiring” service, currently in its beta phase, permits companies to showcase open roles on the platform. The new feature dubbed ‘XHiring’ aims to assist companies in discovering suitable candidates for their job vacancies featured on the platform.

The beta version of the hiring service is being tested with a select group of companies. X has made provisions for organisations to import data either through a supported Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or an XML feed.

This “early access to the X Hiring Beta” is exclusively available to verified Organisations, which are essentially entities that contribute a minimum of US$1,000 monthly to X. These organisations can prominently display job listings on their X profiles.

According to Business Today, job vacancies posted by Verified Organizations on X will appear on their profiles. Candidates will be able to easily search and apply for roles via keywords, location, and other filters directly on the platform. If successful, they will be contacted by the employers through the X platform.
