dNb Human Resources

What dNb Human Resources does

dNb Human Resources (legal name: dNb İnsan Kaynakları ve Yazılım Danışmanlık Limited Şirketi) is a Turkey-based, İŞKUR-licensed Private Employment Agency founded in 2022 and headquartered in Pendik, Istanbul. The firm operates as a specialized B2B recruitment services provider focused exclusively on Information Technology companies, placing white-collar, senior, and C-level technology professionals into client firms. The company positions itself on vertical specialization rather than broad-market staffing.

The underlying service platform integrates AI, RPA, and OCR technologies into the recruitment workflow — specifically for candidate-to-role text matching, automated document/CV processing, and operational reporting — though there is no evidence of proprietary models, in-house data assets, or AI research, and the technology appears to be applied/commodity tooling layered on a traditional staffing process. Service delivery is structured as a five-stage engagement (needs definition, candidate search via database and social channels, competency-based interview and shortlisting, client interview coordination, reference verification and offer support), supplemented by recruitment strategy/consultancy work. The company is self-described as a 14-person firm with no disclosed external funding.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting IT employers through in-person engagement, supported by a multi-language (Turkish, English, German) website, content marketing, and LinkedIn presence on the employer-brand side, plus a Zoho Recruit-powered public job-listing and CV-submission portal as a self-serve candidate acquisition channel. No customer logos, pricing, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed; the firm holds six ISO certifications (9001, 27001, 27701, 20000, 22301, 10002) signaling an enterprise-grade compliance posture unusual for a firm of this size. Revenue is generated through professional services placement and personnel selection fees on a quote-based, B2B engagement with employers in the Turkish IT sector.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Indeed: Global job search and recruitment platform. Indirect but significant competitor for IT job visibility in Turkey and a substitute for some of dNb's employer client job-posting spend.
• ManpowerGroup Turkey: Global staffing firm with established operations in Turkey. Competes in IT staffing and broader workforce solutions, with greater scale and a longer track record than dNb.
• LinkedIn (Talent Solutions): Global professional network and recruitment platform. Competes with dNb for IT candidate sourcing and employer-branded job postings; LinkedIn's scale and AI-driven matching tools (Recruiter, AI-assisted messages) are a structural competitor.
• Eleman.net: Established Turkish online job board and recruitment platform serving multiple verticals including IT. Competes with dNb for IT job postings and job-seeker mindshare in Turkey.
• Kariyer.net: Turkey's largest online job platform and recruitment marketplace. Operates a much broader, multi-vertical job board model vs. dNb's specialized IT-recruitment focus, but competes for the same IT employer hiring budgets in Turkey.

Others

• Insperity: U.S.-based HR outsourcing and PEO firm. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but comparable in offering HR and workforce solutions to employers with bundled technology and compliance capabilities.

Direct peers

• Michael Page: Global professional recruitment firm with a dedicated Technology recruitment vertical. Comparable in focusing on white-collar and mid-to-senior IT placements with a B2B direct-to-employer model.
• Robert Half: Global staffing and recruitment firm with a dedicated Technology staffing practice. Closely comparable in IT-focused permanent and contract placement, with a much larger scale and established Turkish presence.
• Hays: Global professional recruitment firm with a strong IT & technology practice, including offices in Turkey. Directly comparable as a specialized IT recruitment agency serving enterprise clients with both permanent and contract placements.

Emerging players

• LHH (Lee Hecht Harrison): Global talent and career transition firm with recruitment and HR advisory services. Comparable in operating in the white-collar/professional placement space and serving enterprise clients with broader HR mandates.
