According to a quick google search: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter6/6-c.html http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/...
A normal link is considered fair use, but the law is sort of murkey. Many websites have policies about linking. If your linking directly counters the websites policy then it is considered infringement.
Personally I would consider a link to my site a compliment, unless it is from a post directly attacking my site.

I do know that if your feed is automated you should have a policy on your site that clearly outlines the fact that you have no control over said tweets/postings; and are not responsible for the content of the job posts. Such a policy may go on to say that you will remove any posts in violation of copyright, but that is probably up to you and/or applicable laws in your area.
Cloning sites probably does violate copyright law, but once again if you didn't post the actual job, then you may not be responsible (though you may be required to remove the actual job post). I think as long as your site doesn't advocate the cloning or abuse of copyrighted material you have a chance to fight this.
Good luck!
