Opportunity describes itself as an “online business network that uses a matching algorithm to find you business opportunities happening all around you and beyond”. Overall, Meetup is a great place to network with like-minded people in the real world irrespective of whether you’re looking to network professionally or personally. Meetup is a great tool for people to network in the real world, so if you need to arrange meetings or host events offline, this is one LinkedIn alternative that you simply have to check out. While individuals can join any group for free, organizers of these groups have to pay a subscription fee to the company. According to the company, the platform is currently available in over 280 countries with over 32 million members in 280,000 groups. One of the cool features of Meetup is that its users can join groups based on common interests, which may include movies, music, sports, politics etc. Like Linkedin and most of the other platforms listed on this list, Meetup also started off as a web-only platform, but is now also available as a mobile app on Android and iOS. Meetup is an online social networking website that claims to facilitate “ offline group meetings in various localities around the world”. Xing is also available as a mobile app on Android and iOS. The site is also available in at least 17 different languages at last count including, but not limited to English, German, French, Korean, Chinese and Turkish. Some of the other features include discussion forums and event coordination. So as an employer, if you want to search for people with specific qualifications, you’ll need to pay up for that. Like LinkedIn, Xing also operates on a freemium model, which means that the basic membership is free, but most of the premium features are hidden behind a paywall. With over 14 million users worldwide, the site now claims to be the largest business network in Germany and German-speaking regions across Europe. Like its more illustrious American counterpart, Xing is a platform that brings together job-seekers and headhunters in dozens of countries around the world.
Xing is generally considered to be one of the biggest challengers to LinkedIn in continental Europe, although, the site a long way to go before it can be considered to be a true LinkedIn alternative globally.
