A personal profile with administrator rights must be assigned to the business profile. Group discussions require the use of the personal profile of a natural person.
The networking functions are only available to registered users. There is a free basic version and a premium version with additional functions. The main focus is on comparing notes on specialized topics with people who have the same professional interests. In addition, XING is frequently used by companies and other organizations to recruit staff and present themselves as attractive employers.
