innovative recruiting solutions with this acquisition."

XING CEO Thomas Vollmoeller: "An automated solution for employee referrals
is the superior recruitment tool. The advantage for companies: They can
find better qualified candidates at much lower costs and much more quickly
than with traditional methods. Their own employees serve as ambassadors for
the company and the process of approaching candidates is personal, reliable
and purposeful. As a result, the proportion of employees recruited on the
basis of referrals is very high. eqipia is an outstanding product in this
area. It offers typical Swiss precision and fits perfectly with XING. The
acquisition of eqipia asserts XING's position as a leader in innovative
recruitment solutions."

Founders Flurin Müller and Patrick Mollet are looking forward to the
integration with XING: "With XING we can implement our product visions even
faster and achieve even better results for our customers. XING's
established distribution network enables us to offer eqipia in the German
speaking region in one fell swoop."

The eqipia ReferralManager is available immediately as a part of XING's
e-recruiting range at recruiting.xing.com/eqipia. For the launch, XING is
offering a special on the eqipia ReferralManager. XING is also developing a
solution that is completely integrated into the XING platform. This will be
presented at the "HRM Expo" (Zukunft Personal) in Cologne.
