Xing still holds value for German-speaking professionals and I get steady recruiter messages through it. On the flip side, the interface looks a little behind the times and some features sit locked behind the premium tier. Useful, but I'm on the fence about paying.
Steady local recruiter contact
Best features need premium
Xing nails the regional focus that bigger global networks miss. The salary insights and company reviews helped me negotiate confidently for my last offer in Munich. Clean, professional and genuinely useful for anyone serious about their career in the DACH region.
Helpful salary insights
Xing has been brilliant for building my professional presence in the DACH region. Recruiters actually reach out with relevant, local roles and the German-language interface feels tailored rather than translated. I genuinely credit it with two of my last job moves.
Strong DACH recruiter activity
If you work in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, Xing is indispensable. The events and groups feature connected me with people in my industry I'd never have met otherwise, and the profile system is clean and professional. Easily the best regional career platform I've used.
Great events and groups
I've been on Xing for years and it remains the most relevant network for the local market. The job recommendations actually fit my profile and the messaging with recruiters feels professional rather than spammy. Renewed my premium without a second thought.
