New: Rating XING Applications

The XING Jobs section has benefited from it for a while now, and now our XING Partner Ecosystem is getting the feedback treatment – with a new rating system for our range of apps.

The principle behind this system is just as intuitive as the one in XING Jobs: You install an application, try it out – and then rate it with just one click of your mouse on the main page (“canvas view”, where the app takes up almost the whole screen). You can of course go back and change your rating later, for instance if you’re impressed by a new feature that is added.

We will then extract average ratings from all user feedback and list the best-rated apps in the Applications Directory. This way you’ll be able to see at a glance what XING users think of a particular app. When installing a new application, you will also see how your contacts rated it, giving you a better idea of whether it is suited to your needs and interests or not.

What’s more: You can now also recommend applications to your contacts if you’d like to draw them to their attention.

This combination of ratings and recommendations brings our XING Partner Ecosystem even closer together with the rest of our platform, making it easier still for you to make full use of all the XING and your network has to offer.
