Initially started as a website exclusively for high ranking Universities in the United States, Doostang soon expanded to include all kinds of professionals, regardless of their alma mater.

Created by Mareza Larizadeh while he was studying for his MBA at Stanford, with the purpose of helping ambitious recent graduates rapidly grow their career. This professional networking platform has a very prestigious pedigree. This helps ensure that if you receive offers, they will be credible.

The standout feature of Xing though is its very strict anti-spam policy. Another enticing element to Xing membership is the ability to attend networking events hosted by the website’s so-called ambassadors, where members can meet, pitch ideas and get business advice from each other. Much like its competitor, Xing offers professional profiles, forums and groups. Their interface can be viewed in an astounding 16 different languages. The European answer to US-based LinkedIn Xing claims to have members from over 200 countries and their multi-language interface backs that claim up.
