Access and search
XING TalentManager provides search, filters and projects for active sourcing in the German-speaking market. This is where you find and assess profiles.
The XING recruiting tool for the work after search
Your TalentManager finds the candidates. ZingBot works through your reviewed list. As soon as a reply lands in the XING inbox, you take over the conversation — instead of spending the afternoon copying, pasting and chasing follow-ups.
XING recruiting tool: three jobs, three tool types
The term sounds like one product. In practice, it covers three jobs. Strong recruiting teams separate access and search, list preparation and outreach, then give each step to the tool built for it.
Data and list preparation
Search, data and export tools turn existing profiles into a working list. Their value is clean data and a hand-off that does not create another round of spreadsheet work.
Outreach and follow-ups
Outreach workflow tools execute a reviewed list. ZingBot sends through your own XING account, follows up and stops the sequence when a person replies.
Responsibility split
TalentManager, ZingBot and the recruiter are not competing for the same job. TalentManager makes the market searchable. ZingBot makes the selected list workable. The recruiter turns a reply into a conversation.
| Stage | Owner | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Find candidates | XING TalentManager and recruiter | A relevant selection from a search or project |
| Prepare the list | Recruiter, with a data or export tool if needed | A reviewed list of the people you want to contact |
| Work the list | ZingBot inside your own XING account | Messages and follow-ups run until a person replies |
| Take over the reply | Recruiter | A personal candidate conversation with context and judgement |
Execution
ZingBot starts with a list you have already reviewed. To import from a TalentManager search or TalentManager project, you need your own XING TalentManager licence. You then set up the outreach once and let the workflow run inside your XING account.
- Write the message and follow-ups once
- Insert salutation, title, first name, last name, position and company
- Work through the selected list inside your own XING account
- Stop the sequence for a person as soon as they reply
How it works
The cleanest process has a visible hand-off. Nobody has to guess whether the list is ready or who owns the reply.
- 1 Search
Find profiles in XING TalentManager and refine the search criteria, filters or projects.
- 2 Select
Review the profiles and decide which candidates should receive the outreach.
- 3 Import
With your own XING TalentManager licence, import the reviewed list from a search or project into ZingBot.
- 4 Execute
ZingBot sends the prepared message and follow-ups through your own XING account.
- 5 Have the conversation
A reply ends the sequence for that person. You read it in the XING inbox and continue the candidate conversation yourself.
Your XING account
The workflow runs through your real XING session, so XING account limits and verification prompts remain part of the operation. You can see what is running in the account being used, and the outreach stays in the same place where the replies arrive.
Selection
- Do you need access and search, data preparation or execution of a finished list?
- Can the tool take the list from your actual recruiting process?
- Can you review the message, follow-ups and personalisation before launch?
- Does the sequence stop reliably when someone replies?
- Does the process end with a recruiter ready to take over the conversation?
