XING launches new generation of job ads
M2 - Thu Jul 18, 4:20AM CDT
People on the lookout for a job all agree that the information available to them should be both genuine and unedited. Unfortunately this isn't always the case as companies battling it out for the best people will do whatever they can to attract them, including expensive careers pages, glossy corporate brochures and fancy job ads. Just how authentic is the image they portray? Do applicants really take the bait? Apparently not. A survey XING AG carried out among 532 employees in German-speaking countries showed that 90 per cent of them prefer to gather information and opinions from employees rather than company careers sites. XING has taken these findings and used them as an opportunity to reinvent the job ad. Up until now, job ads were merely official company presentations. But very soon job-seekers on XING will be able to receive first-hand information and insights into companies that post job ads and also see which of their contacts work there. If none of their direct contacts works at a company they're interested in, job-seekers will be shown contact paths indicating whether any of their contacts knows someone who does. These personal links are a quick and easy way for potential job candidates to get the low-down on a company from people who work there. They can even ask them for a personal recommendation.
