XING is a 100% German SCAM based on automatic renewals, small print, etc. Nowhere near LinkedIn for Germany and DACH region in 2023 in terms of usefulness in recruiting.As a recruiter, I've tried dozens of apps, etc. When I wanted to cancel before my subscription period was over - no problem whatsoever, hell I even canceled and got refunded after the period was over!XING though, 100% knows its place in the market - IT IS NOWHERE near other services, let alone LinkedIn.So XING - does the only thing left to get people's money somehow - plays with SMALL PRINT. When I outreached to them with the info that I wanted to cancel the upcoming subscription - they said "You need to do that three weeks before the end, it was in the small print that we've put in terms, and we deliberately did not send you any info about upcoming renewal, so you'd forget about that. We also do not care you haven't used the XING for 99,9% of the previous year. You need to pay the next full subscription for the year; also - we've blocked your account. If you do not pay it - we will send debt collectors."LOL. Which level of pathetic are you, XING? Whenever you look, you see such stories about how XING is scamming people outta their money - hard not to see it. So if you are recruiter or candidate in 2023 - LITERALLY NO REASON to use XING! I mean - you get amazing Sales Navigator for less, and XING is nowhere near the reach, and possibilities of LinkedIn. XING is nothing more than a huge waste of anyone's time, money, and nerves in 2023 and beyond. It is a dying platform with no real bang-for-a-buck factor & their support is exceptionally bad as well.PS. No need for your pathetic replies. You know what you are doing. And yes - I am your client, you don't have to know which one.
