Questions from companies
What is an Employer of Record?
The Employer of Record is the legal employer of your staff in Turkey. DEKRA Arbeit Türkei handles the employment contract, payroll and filings and leads the team towards your goals. If you prefer to lead the team yourself, that works too.
Do I need my own company in Turkey?
No. With the Employer of Record model you employ staff in Turkey without setting up a company there.
Is DEKRA Arbeit Türkei licensed to place workers?
Yes. DEKRA Arbeit Türkei holds the official operating licence of İŞKUR, the Turkish employment agency.
How fast is a team in place?
You see the first profiles after two weeks. A team in Turkey is ready after four weeks. For skilled workers moving to Germany, visa and recognition add usually around four months.
What does a team in Turkey cost compared with Germany?
You pay salary, employer contributions and a monthly service fee per employee. You receive a concrete offer after the first call.
How do skilled workers from Turkey get to Germany?
We recruit, accompany the visa and the recognition of qualifications and organise the move. The employee starts with an employment contract with the German employer.
Do you also recruit for positions in Turkey?
Yes. As an İŞKUR-licensed recruitment agency in Istanbul we fill engineering, robotics and industry roles for companies in Turkey, plus specialist searches in defense and aerospace and aviation for employers in Turkey.
Can a Turkish company employ staff in Germany without its own entity?
Yes. With our Employer of Record in Germany our partners TEKOM and EURA, both licensed for temporary agency work, become the legal employer in Germany, and you direct the work.
