What's This?

Twitter CEO Dick Costolo has repeatedly said he isn't thinking about taking the company public — but apparently, the same isn't true for Twitter's hiring managers.

The social networking company posted a job listing this week for a financial reporting manager whose responsibilities would include "preparation of monthly reporting materials, quarterly/annual financial statements and Form S-1 when we are ready to go public." (Emphasis ours.)

The job posting, which was first spotted by USA Today on Monday night, appeared on multiple job sites including Linkedin, but no longer appears as of Tuesday morning. Twitter did not immediately respond to our request for comment.

Here is a cached version of the listing on SimplyHired:

This isn't the first hiring move to ignite rumors of a Twitter IPO. Earlier this year, the company hired investment banker Cynthia Gaylor from Morgan Stanley, which many took as an indication that Twitter was preparing to go public. Gaylor stated that her position was focused on mergers and acquisitions.

Twitter is said to be valued at around $10 billion.
