Putting A Face To The Job: XING Marketplace

Daniela Hinrichs on 24.05.2007 at 11:18 h

Just a couple of minutes ago we´ve launched the XING "marketplace". It took less than three weeks to test the new feature. The beta tester have been very activce to post thousands of job offers online for you. Kudos to our beta tester and again, thank you very much for testing and supporting us so nicely. It´s awesome!

A great thing about "marketplace" is that you can see who´s hiring from top European companies complete with business photos and profiles. Plus: with one click you can recommend an open position to your contact on XING. And for job posters: to have access to a talent pool of about 2 million professionals worldwide. For now we´ve started with jobs , but other categories like service and real estate might follow.

"Marketplace" was programmed entirely using Ruby on Rails.

Could be nice to tag (or mark) interesting offers to remember and retrieve them again as a job seeker ...

I really like the new marketplace feature. Two suggestions in the job marketplace area:

1. include the a possibility to search for jobs posted before, on or after a certain date

2. include the possibility to search for jobs within a certain salary range

Regards,
Chris

Please let the Marketplace box be customizable. Like "list all jobs that match X" instead of the default "jobs that would suit me" (How do you know anyway? ;-) )
