Yenibiris

Site's statement

Jobboard Finder’s opinion

Summary: Yenibiris is one of the top generalist job board in Turkey. It comes in forth. The logo is a smile (such a simple and friendly choice), and it definitely has a positive effect on users, since 2.64 million visits are recorded every month on SimilarWeb. The site also has many followers on LinkedIn (66 416), Twitter (20 700), Facebook (395 302), Instagram (15 700) and YouTube (765). Like many job boards, they have focused on LinkedIn for their social media outreach.The website has been around since 2000 but the “About” section doesn’t provide users with a lot of other information regarding the team or the company history.

Design: The top of the job board focuses on the job search by featuring the search engine (keywords and a choice of cities – with popular keywords underneath), some of the top categories (with images) are just under the search engine and a number of company pages are on the right-hand side. This leads to customized or standard company pages, which include images, a logo, a map, a description and a list of job offers. The other half of the homepage features the articles, the app and different categories to start your job search. In the job listing, you can view the offers in a list or on a map. To use the filters, however, you must be in the list form. The filters are location, category, sector, salary, date, career level, type of hours, work location, experience, country, the type of offers you wish to view, and some of the subcategories include the number of offers in brackets. You can choose to see only English job offers, deactivated offers and HR consultant agency offers, for example. When you run your curser over a job offer, the rest of the description appears over the page. It’s possible to exclude candidates (based on their nationality for example) in the job description. Job offers include the publication date, the last update date and the expiry date in the useful information.

The job board objective: Yenibiris (which means “a new job”) helps jobseekers find new jobs and continuously offers new opportunities to its users.

Recruiter observations: Recruiters can create a customized company page for free; the prices for the different package deals are online. Signing up is easy as is creating a job offer (which you can preview before purchasing).

Jobseeker observations: Jobseekers can create an account with an e-mail address or Facebook. If you don’t have an account, one will be created for you when you apply to an offer. You don’t even need a CV to apply to job offers.

The job offers: There are 7 809 job offers on the website. Most of them are in education, sales and marketing. The numbers are down since the COVID19 pandemic but this is normal for most job boards.

Reactivity: The team reacts quickly when you post an offer, but they are a bit slower at answering e-mails. You have a number and email and even an address in the "About us" section.

Special features: The YouTube videos; the testimonials; the blog (with more than a dozen categories); the CV login website (where you can download a customized CV for free); the past offers; the handicapped options (when completing your online advert); the press section (nothing new since 2016); the forum (where you can ask questions); the candidate guide; the app (which the site encourages you to download).

Verdict: It’s nice to be on such a happy website. Great branding and an easy to navigate website are always a plus for recruiters. Jobseekers also have an easy time setting up an account and applying to job offers. Being able to ask specific questions in the forum and view only English jobs are also handy.
