What Eleman Online does

Eleman Online is a Turkish online job board platform founded in 2005 and operated by DB DANIŞMANLIK HİZMETLERİ LTD. ŞTİ., headquartered in Kadıköy, Istanbul. The platform connects employers with job seekers through a self-serve web marketplace complemented by native iOS and Android mobile applications, an integrated CV/resume builder, and a career guidance blog (Kariyer Rehberi). The company operates under an İŞKUR Private Employment Agency License (Özel İstihdam Bürosu) — originally issued on 22.01.2008 under decision number 265 and reaffirmed on 14.08.2017 — a sector-specific credential required for private employment bureaus under Turkish Labor Law No. 4904.

The business model is freemium on the employer side: standard job posting is free with monthly quotas and 60-day listing duration, while premium subscription services are offered to boost visibility and application volume. Job seekers access all core functionality at no cost, including CV creation and applications. Self-reported scale includes 320,000+ member companies (with 400,000+ registered firms cited on the public site) and 2.5 million+ active job seekers, with 15,000+ new company registrations per month, 25,000+ companies posting monthly, and 40,000+ monthly successful matches. The platform operates exclusively within Turkey.

Go-to-market is purely self-serve with no sales assistance, distributed via the company's web domain and the Apple App Store / Google Play storefronts. Marketing relies on content marketing through the career blog, organic SEO across city/district and position-based landing pages, social media presence, and email newsletters. The organization is lean at 11 employees, is privately held by its operating LLC with no disclosed institutional investment, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity on record. The named customer set is composed entirely of SMB employers across education, manufacturing, logistics, food, software, and supply/trading verticals.
