"Tech" is the most desirable recruiting vertical and the market for hiring tech talents currently facing a structural shift

¹ Eurostat, StackOverflow, Bitkom ² Jobvite Recruiter Nation report

Investing in "tech recruiting" is a compelling growth opportunity for XING as it adds value to our C- and B-side mission

A strategic investment in tech recruiting...

• XING is the most known (87%) and most used (53%) channel for job search in D-A-CH for tech professionals
• XING today has ~400.000 profiles with above average engagement metrics
• 83% of tech professionals consider a "reversed marketplace" model extremely attractive

• 75% would prefer such a model over searching on XING or LinkedIn

• Fech recruiting (for top talent) is a proven international playing field

• IMAGES 2007 XING is committed to invest into business models that are not dependent on the core XING platform, but will benefit from its existence - and related B2B businesses
• Winning the European market is significantly more likely with a strong D-A-CH position

Tech sourcing is undoubted the biggest single pain point for recruiters due to the structural supply/demand gap
