What Eleman.net does

Eleman.net is a privately held Turkish online job marketplace founded in 2005 and operated by Piko Danışmanlık Hizmetleri, headquartered in Kadıköy, Istanbul. The platform connects employers seeking to hire with job seekers searching for employment opportunities across Turkey, with primary coverage of major cities including Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, and Bursa. The company employs 51-100 staff and operates under official authorization from İŞKUR (Türkiye İş Kurumu), the Turkish Employment Agency, under permit number 606 dated 11.06.2026, which subjects it to Law No. 4904 restricting the charging of fees to job seekers.

The core product is a web- and mobile-based job board featuring listings from employers and self-service search/apply functionality for candidates, with native applications available on iOS, Android, and Huawei app stores. The platform extends beyond listings into a broad supporting toolkit: a video CV (Video Özgeçmiş) feature claimed to improve job-finding outcomes, a CV builder, eight employment-related calculators (salary, severance, annual leave, income tax, unemployment benefits, overtime), and content resources including an occupation guide, university guide, job guide, and an earnings map (Kazanç Haritası). The platform maintains city- and position-specific SEO landing pages as its primary acquisition channel.

Eleman.net monetizes through subscription/recurring job posting fees paid by employers; job seeker access is free. Named enterprise customers include Carrefoursa, Metro Türkiye, Özel İstanbul Medipol Hastanesi, Beyaz Fırın, Horoz Lojistik, and Civil Mağazacılık A.Ş., spanning retail, logistics, healthcare, and food service. The company is bootstrapped and founder-owned with no disclosed external institutional funding, operating exclusively within Turkey's domestic market and reporting 400,000+ cumulative employers served and 20,000+ active listings at any given time.

• Secretcv.com: Major Turkish online recruitment platform offering job postings, CV database access, and employer branding tools. Competes directly with Eleman.net for both employer posting fees and candidate mind share within Turkey.
• Kariyer.net: Turkey's largest and most established online job board. Operates the same employer-pays, job-posting model targeting Turkish employers and job seekers, making it the most direct head-to-head competitor to Eleman.net in the same geography and customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Indeed: World's largest job search engine aggregating listings from thousands of sources. Operates globally including Turkey, and competes with Eleman.net for both candidate traffic and employer-sponsored job postings across all role categories.
