Twitter to co-founder Jack Dorsey: 'We don't want you'

Committee to only consider candidates who will make a full-time commitment to Twitter, the social network's board says in statement

Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is currently set to stand in as the interim chief executive of the company once current boss Dick Costolo steps down at the end of June. But don't expect Dorsey to get the top job permanently: Twitter's board of directors has made it quite clear today that they don't want him.

The company announced on Monday that it had hired headhunters Spencer Stuart to find the new chief executive, and confirmed that it wasn't interested in getting a candidate who spends some of their time elsewhere. "The Committee will only consider candidates for recommendation to the full Board who are in a position to make a full-time commitment to Twitter," it said in a statement.
