XING Jobs

XING is a leading professional networking platform specifically designed for the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). Founded in Hamburg, Germany, in 2003 under the name openBC, it was renamed XING in 2006. The platform serves as a localized alternative to LinkedIn, focusing on the specific career and recruitment needs of the German-speaking market.

The service is developed and maintained in Germany by New Work SE. Over the years, the brand has expanded its ecosystem to include various career-related services, including recruitment tools, job boards, and employer review platforms. Since 2012, the company has been under the majority ownership of the European media giant Hubert Burda Media, which solidified its position as a dominant player in the European digital economy.
