SEEK AI or XING TalentManager. Which fits when?
XING TalentManager is the right choice if your sourcing relies heavily on XING and you need its full native functionality (direct messages in the XING inbox, ProBusiness features). SEEK AI is the right choice if you want to keep using XING profiles and additionally need LinkedIn, technical and creative communities, and one consolidated Super Profile in one tool. With team workflows and GDPR-compliant processing from Winterthur.
We see XING and SEEK AI in the same stack, not in competition.
