X (Twitter) wants to be the next LinkedIn: so you can find jobs from the social network

The move from Twitter to X has brought many new features to the platform. We know that Elon Musk is still working on turning the service into a “super app,” an intention he announced shortly after the name change. As part of this process in the social network disclosed new function under the name of Naimaand begins to compete directly with LinkedIn and similar platforms.

With X Hiring, the company wants to make it easier for users to find jobs from the same app. Thus, companies with an account in X (Twitter), can post vacancies for all job types. Of course, there are a number of requirements that must be met.

First of all, companies wishing to gain access to recruitment must be verified (i.e. pay for a subscription on a social network). Also, if they want to test a feature before its general rollout, they must request access from the platform’s official website. The latter is due to the fact that it is still in beta testing.

When logging into the profile of a Hiring-followed company, users will be able to see a special feed prepared by X (Twitter) to display all available vacancies. Here, job search is carried out using the same servicewhich is the first step in creating a “super app”.

Certainly, the feature is still in beta, so the list of companies that have access to it is small.. Similarly, we won’t find as many features as we see on LinkedIn, and the reason is the same. While Elon Musk’s transition through X (Twitter) has been hectic, the feature could add value to current social media services.

Elon Musk wants to turn X (Twitter) into a “super app”

From the moment he appeared on Twitter, Elon Musk has made it clear that he wants to make X the default app on users’ mobile phones.. To do this, he intends to integrate into the service all those functions that are necessary for daily functioning.

“Super Apps” is a type of app that is quite popular in the Asian market. WeChat, an instant messaging service, is one of them.. But what exactly do they do? Well, among its functions, we can find the ability to make payments and work as an electronic wallet, store government documents, make purchases through online stores, email services, messaging, social networks and much more.

In the case of the aforementioned app, you can order a taxi, get directions to your destination, check cinema hours and book tickets, order food… Functions are unlimitedand that’s exactly what Musk is looking for for X (Twitter).

Despite these possibilities, there is no application in the West that can perform all these functions from one platform. Being a little-studied market, Elon Musk could make X (Twitter) the world benchmark for all these activities. However, this won’t happen without competition as other services also tend to get into the same boat.
