Employee Leasing / Outstaffing in Istanbul and Turkey
For developing your business in a market, having your own employees is an important success factor. With our 20+ years of experience in Turkey, we offer a solution to have your own employees without your own local entity. Our clients are having very good results especially for sales, business development, distributor management and service & maintenance.
Employee leasing is a flexible, fast, and hassle-free solution. If your business is big enough, you can transfer it to your own subsidiary. In case you need to exit, it is a fast solution. Our clients and their local employees can fully concentrate on the core business, without any distractions through administrative works and local requirements.
We call it employee leasing, but this service is also known as outstaffing, temping, or employment outsourcing.
