Recruiting

Recruitment & executive search in Turkey

Hiring the right person depends on a system, not on luck — and it's harder in a market you don't know. We run competency-based recruitment and executive search for international companies, from your first country lead to a full team build-out. On the ground, in English.

What we do

From your first executive to a full team

Most engagements start with one leader on the ground and grow into the team around them. We work at the pace you need, against the competencies the role actually requires — not just a CV that looks right.

Executive search

Your first general manager or country lead in Turkey — sourced and assessed through a structured, competency-based search.

Team build-out

Scale a full team around the leader — operations, sales, engineering or support — at a controlled pace.

Specialised & tech roles

Hard-to-fill technical and specialist positions, sourced from the local market with the right assessment.

Embedded / RPO

We run part or all of your recruitment as an extension of your team when hiring volume ramps up.

Who is it for?

If these sound familiar, this is for you

You're entering Turkey and need the right first hire — fast, but accurately.

You keep making the same hiring mistakes, with people who leave quickly.

Interviews vary from manager to manager, with no shared criteria.

You're scaling and need to hire a whole team without dropping the bar.

What we build

A recruitment process, not a one-off placement

We don't leave hiring to first impressions and luck. We build a repeatable, competency-based process — and, where needed, take part in the selection ourselves.

We are not a payroll processor or an Employer of Record. We find and assess the people and build the process behind them — and we work alongside your EOR for the legal-employer side, with or without your own entity in Turkey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

Do you find the people, or just build the process?

Both. We build the competency-based process and, for executive search and key roles, we source and assess candidates ourselves.

Can you hire if we don't have an entity in Turkey?

Yes. We handle recruiting and HR setup; for the legal-employer side many companies start through an Employer of Record. We work alongside your EOR, or can introduce one.

What is a competency-based interview?

A structured method that evaluates candidates on past behaviour against role-specific competencies, reducing first-impression bias.

How does pricing work?

Scope determines the price — we don't sell off-the-shelf packages. After a short discovery call we prepare a project-based quote. The first meeting is free.

Which language and time zone do you work in?

English, across US and European business hours. We're based in Ankara, Turkey.
