Twitter feeds offering vacancies and job adverts are on the rise as the job market becomes even more competitive. Twitjobs launched on Twitter in March and quickly gained more than 4,500 followers. The microblogging site allows job hunters to spot and respond to vacancies instanty.
Job ads can also offer a way to monetise Twitter, which has millions of users. There are separate feeds for sectors including media, sales, fashion and graduates. A growing number of users are searching for employment on the web, sending job-related words and topics up the Twitter "most-trending" lists. Other organisations seek to meet the demand.
Recruitment experts do however warn job hunters who use their social networking profiles to contact or attract employers to take extra care not to share unprofessional details online.
