Iโ€™m from latam working for an American company, I donโ€™t want to help American companies anymore, I work as a CRM specialist for b2b saas and I donโ€™t see big job boards like LinkedIn.

I looked into XING recently, but as of now the homepage makes me feel like I would not be welcome as a non-German speaker. Someone should make this interest known to them and I am sure the non-AfD people of XING would be interested in adapting the platform.

Same here. It is very pro-German. It is not for the European consumption.

When most ads are in German... yeah, they've set their market. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[โ€“] loudartist@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah. But then, it is stupid that a plugin gives me an alternative that leads to German based website.

Lemmyin.eu does not sound appropriate...

When I see the quality of LinkedIn lately, I would say: lemmings ๐Ÿ™ˆ

EURES (EURopean Employment Services) is a job portal provided by the European Union.

It needs work as it's really just a job board where you can create a profile that employers can see. As a non-employer, you cannot see other people's profiles.

Magnet.me is based in The Netherlands. I don't know how the reach is outside NL but it's worth a shot maybe?

[โ€“] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

They ironically have a LinkedIn handle.

Hays / Randstad (GULP)? It's not social platforms but I think quite commonly used by freelancers.

[โ€“] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Thereโ€™s Xing, itโ€™s German!
