After being the LinkedIn’s fastest growing market in 2012, we had our first ever corporate recruiting event in Turkey on April 30th.

There are at least three ways in which Turkish talent acquisition leaders are similar to their counterparts around the world:
1. They care about talent brand. According to speaker Yavuz Elkin, Senior VP of Denizbank of “Denizbank is no more using traditional recruitment methods to attract talents.”
2. They are moving on from posting and waiting. As speaker Esra Altun, International Director of LC Waikiki put it, “Linkedin is a best experience for LC WAIKIKI to search the top talents.”
3. They are also using the talent data that Linkedin Talent Solutions provides to make better recruiting decisions and learning from it.
