Xing Marketplace launches – private beta/invite mode

We have just received word that Xing has launched a private beta of their new Xing Marketplace. Xing is a professional networking tool similar to LinkedIn and is widely used in Europe whereas LinkedIn is more popular in the States. It appears the service will start with jobs and then open to more service options.

It appears that any Xing user can post a job. No word on the fees associated with job postings. I have requested more information from Xing and will update as soon as I hear back. I have also requested some beta keys for our great RSS subscribers!

Dear Xing User,

We would like to invite you to become a beta tester for “XING Marketplace”.

On XING Marketplace, you’ll find the latest services, products and job openings from XING members. The initial launch will start with jobs only. Marketplace is currently in a private beta phase and will be available to all members soon.

You have been selected to be amongst the first members to test Marketplace – starting today.

You can visit Marketplace via the main XING navigation bar or via the following link:
