Largest Swiss job platform now cooperating with leading business network
jobs.ch ag is taking over the marketing of all recruitment products on XING in Switzerland. Consequently www.jobs.ch will be the sole Swiss online jobs portal working hand in hand with XING, one of the most important channels for the recruitment of executives and experts in the field of Web 2.0. Through this partnership, jobs.ch ag will make its service range more attractive while consolidating its position as leader on the Swiss market.
jobs.ch and XING have turned the Swiss online jobs market upside down: with immediate effect, jobs.ch will now market all XING job advertisements in Switzerland. In addition to posting job advertisements, this also involves marketing recruiter memberships at www.xing.com. For the first time, by placing their job advertisements on jobs.ch and xing.com, Swiss customers now have the opportunity to access two top-quality channels from a single source.
As Mark Sandmeier, CEO of jobs.ch explains: “Our own experience is confirmed by the latest trend report* examining online recruiting in Switzerland: recruiting via social media is currently generating considerable interest among human resources managers. We are therefore looking forward to our future collaboration with the leading online business network in the German-speaking world. We are already collaborating on further specific projects which will be launched in the coming months and will be unique in Switzerland.”
The cooperation therefore unites the growth sectors of social media and the online jobs market on the Swiss market. This means that XING will become even more attractive for its members thanks to the increased number of jobs posted in Switzerland. “The cooperation with jobs.ch increases our visibility on the Swiss market and makes us even more interesting to men and women throughout Switzerland. Via jobs.ch, employers’ job advertisements on XING also reach latent job seekers – members who are not actively job hunting but who are always eager for a new challenge,” explains Stefan Schmidt-Grell, Director of Product Marketing at XING AG.
