According to the social media giant, most of the job listings are from firms that are focused on artificial intelligence (AI), financial services, and software as a service. A post from X Business says that businesses of all sizes can reach a massive audience of engaged job seekers on the platform. A surge in the volume of job postings indicates that firms leverage X as a place to find talent. Elon Musk”s X is attempting to compete with popular job-search portals, including LinkedIn.
In August 2023, X launched the XHiring feature, which allows verified organisations to post job listings on their respective profiles. X is aiming to widen its scope and adopt multiple roles in the technology field.
