What Engelsizkariyer.com | Kapsayıcı Engelli İstihdamı | Engelliler İnsan Kaynakları ve Kariyer Sitesi does

Engelsizkariyer.com, legally EK Eğitim İnsan Kaynakları ve Danışmanlık Ltd. Şti., is a Turkish niche job board and career portal founded in 2005 as Türkiye'nin İlk Kapsayıcı Engelli İstihdamı Markası (Turkey's first inclusive disability employment brand). The company operates as a social-enterprise brand connecting disabled job seekers with employers, and is licensed by Türkiye İş Kurumu (İŞKUR) under permit #302 pursuant to Turkish Law No. 4904, which prohibits charging fees to job seekers. The platform serves Turkish employers — many operating under a 3% private-sector / 4% public-sector disability employment quota — and disabled candidates across orthopedic, hearing, visual, and other impairment categories.

The platform is a web-based job board with CV creation tools, candidate search, vitrin (showcase) job listings, video job listings, and accessibility features (font-size adjustment controls), complemented by native mobile applications on iOS and Android. Beyond the core marketplace, the company operates an academy ecosystem (Engelsiz Kariyer Günleri, Engelsiz Liderlik Okulu, Meslek Kursu, Engelsiz Staj), a career magazine (Kariyer Magazin) and an information database (Bilgi Bankası) covering disability rights, Turkish labor law, the UN CRPD, and the European Social Charter. Monetization is employer-side: corporate membership fees, paid job postings, training and academy services, and event sponsorships (İstanbul Engelsiz Kariyer Günleri, Engelsiz Kariyer Zirvesi). The candidate side is free. Service is nationwide in Türkiye, distributed through the owned website, mobile apps, physical events, and İŞKUR-endorsed channels.

The company serves enterprise clients including Unilever, Philip Morris, Siemens, adidas, LC Waikiki, TEMSA, DHL, CarrefourSA, Red Bull, AVL, Türkiye Şişe ve Cam, TEB, and Kalkınma ve Yatırım Bankası, with long-standing partnerships dating to 2014 (TEMSA) and 2015 (Siemens). The business is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investment, ~26 employees, and is headquartered in Bahçelievler, İstanbul.
