Twitter has made its first acquisition of the Musk era with the purchase of the job search company Laskie.
The acquisition, first reported Tuesday, reportedly cost Twitter “tens of millions” in cash and stock, yet a specific figure has not been announced.The company was billed as a sort of dating app for workers and employers that aimed to match job seekers with work that best fit their needs.
“We believe that finding an incredible remote job shouldn’t be so challenging. We’ve helped everyone from engineers to designers to marketers find their dream role,” an archived version of Laskie’s website reads. Laskie, which was free for job seekers, raked in significant revenue from businesses that paid the company a percentage of a hired employee’s first-year salary.
The company’s first acquisition comes as CEO Elon Musk tries to create an “everything app” out of Twitter. The acquisition of Laskie could be a way to incorporate job-seeking into Twitter. Twitter has recently added features making stock trading through the app easier and Mr. Musk floated adding a dating feature to Twitter.
