Jobs on X: build this knot
Plenty of hiring still happens on X: founders posting roles, recruiters sharing openings, and people asking their followers for referrals. The trouble is that job hashtags also attract scams promising easy money for a DM.
This knot searches the common hiring tags and phrases, removes the crypto, MLM and "DM to earn" posts, and hides replies. Add your field as a keyword ("product designer", "data engineer") and your city or "remote" for a feed you can check every morning.
The recipe
| Hashtags | #hiring #jobs #RemoteJobs |
|---|---|
| Keywords | we're hiring job opening |
| Leave out | crypto MLM DM to earn |
| Filters | Original posts only (replies hidden) |
| X List name | Jobs Board |

Open in the builder and add members
Who to add as members
Founders and hiring managers in your field, recruiters you have worked with, and job-board accounts for your industry. We don't list anyone by name: pick the people you already read, so the knot reflects your corner of the topic.
Once you add members, the builder makes three more feeds: everything they post, their posts on this topic, and replies sent to them.
Tips for this knot
- Never pay to apply. Real employers do not ask for money or crypto in DMs.
- Add a location keyword, or "remote", to make the feed useful.
- The Links filter shows only posts that point to an actual job listing.
Setting up the X List
- Open Lists from your profile menu and create a list called Jobs Board.
- Keep it public if you want others to follow it, or make it private for your own reading.
- Add members from the list editor or from each profile's menu.
- Pin it so it shows up as a tab on Home.
