Most everyone will agree that LinkedIn is the undisputed champion of professional social networks, and the reach of the site and data within it is highly valuable, but not in every market.
Xing, the most-easily-described-as LinkedIn of Germany, is immensely popular in Germany, central Europe, and according to Xing, is used in over 200 countries and they boast more than 7.8 million total users.
Utilizing social profile data to speed registration processes is nothing new. We have supported this process with LinkedIn in SuccessFactors Recruiting for a while now and we are excited to announce that applicants can now log in with Xing. This means when an applicant logs in with Xing, they can pre-populate the application with the data from Xing. There are two major benefits – speed and accuracy. This means fewer drop-offs, more complete applications and the most up-to-date information.
If you are recruiting globally, especially throughout Europe, you will want to utilize this feature to help capture those candidates. To learn more, about this and other features in SuccessFactors Recruiting, you should check out one of our live demos here.
