Portage in Türkiye : The solution to get started

When a company decides to expand into a new market or wishes to understand and evaluate its opportunities before committing to a permanent establishment, using employment services in Türkiye can prove to be a highly effective solution that remains largely unknown or misunderstood.

Flexibility, cost savings, rapid expansion, and increased visibility are among the benefits of employment services, allowing you to enter a market without investing in infrastructure and without facing administrative constraints while testing your development potential with minimal risk.

The Turkish market offers many advantages that will facilitate your success within an employment strategy: qualified and competitive workforce, diversified domestic demand, and quick access to a strategic regional market.

Definition

Employment Services allow a company to hire an employee dedicated 100% to its activities through the services of a local expert third-party structure, such as Advantis in Türkiye. This solution is optimal for initiating activities, strengthening development, or boosting your network in the Turkish market without investing in infrastructure. It combines flexibility and budget control, with only salary costs and operational expenses related to the employee's activities.

How it Works

Once your collaborator is identified, Advantis can directly hire them under employment services or handle recruitment upstream for any technical and/or commercial functions, with full management of the process. Advantis can also manage work permits/residence permits for foreign employees and handle Schengen visa applications for Turkish employees.

Legally, employment services establish a tripartite contractual relationship: the company needing an employee in the Turkish market, the employed worker, and the local employment services entity like Advantis, which becomes the Employer of Record (EoR). The hired employee, whether Turkish or foreign, is declared and employed by the employment services provider and carries out their mission 100% on behalf of the company, which is their operational employer. The ordering company is invoiced for the gross salary and operational expenses of the employee (travel and other technical expenses related to their mission), advanced either by the employee themselves or by the employment services provider handling administrative, social, and legal obligations.

> The company maintains full control over its salary costs, budgeted over 12 months.

> The company finances only the salary charge and the service provided by the employment services company.

> Advantis is the official employer and manages all fiscal, accounting, legal declarations of the employed worker.
