Will make sure that X competitor to LinkedIn is cool: Elon Musk
Elon Musk on Sunday took on Microsoft-owned LinkedIn, saying he will make sure that the X (formerly Twitter) competitor to LinkedIn is cool.
X has already revealed plans to take on the leading professional networking platform, saying that early access to the X Hiring Beta is now available to verified organisations.
«People send me LinkedIn links sometimes, but the cringe level is so high that I just can't bring myself to use it, so I ask for the resume or bio to be emailed,» Musk posted.
«We will make sure that the X competitor to LinkedIn is cool,» he replied to an X user who posted: «Is there anything worse than LinkedIn?»
Meanwhile, verified organisations (those who pay $1,000 a month for the verification status) can now feature job listings on their X profiles with the new feature.
«Unlock early access to the X Hiring Beta — exclusively for Verified Organisations,» X said in a post on Saturday.
«Feature your most critical roles and organically reach millions of relevant candidates. Apply for the Beta today,» the Elon Musk-run company added.
It's not yet a LinkedIn killer but surely a step in that direction to make X an «everything app».
«Sign up for early access to X Hiring, currently available for Verified Organisations.
