Sevil Kanat
EPSON – Country Manager
“After going through a long and unfortunately unsuccessful search process to find new colleagues that we urgently needed to join our team, we met Ülkü Ceylan. Ms. Ülkü handled this process, which had become a crisis for us, in an extremely professional and meticulous manner, and shortly after we started working with her, we successfully filled our three critical positions with the right people. I observed that Ms. Ülkü correctly understood our needs, made accurate analyses, and conducted her work in a focused, efficient, and timely manner. I thank her and wish her continued success.”

They contributed by bringing different perspectives and insights to candidate interviews and by establishing transparent, honest, and close relationships with both the candidates and us. Their work has been effective and efficient in helping us quickly meet with the most suitable candidates for our positions and organization.

Ümit İlhan
Enocta – Deputy General Manager
“I had the opportunity to work with Astera for different positions while serving as the HR Director at Probil Bilgi İşlem A.Ş. and Enocta. We completed our searches for Sales Managers, Network Specialists, Project Managers, and Corporate Systems Managers in a relatively short time. Some of these individuals have worked with us for many years, and we still work with some of them today. Astera’s ability to accurately analyze whether the candidate’s expectations align with ours and our company culture has consistently helped us select the right candidate each time. Their expertise in the IT sector, technology, and sales, combined with their ability to reach competent resources, has been crucial. Additionally, their fast, results-oriented, and fair approach for all parties makes Astera a valuable business partner.”

“We have been working with Astera for a long time, particularly in the recruitment of both experts and managers in the fields of infrastructure and security. They are a professional business partner who speaks our language, doesn’t tire us, and, most importantly, provides HR expertise that we wouldn’t have internally as if they were part of our organization. I highly recommend them to any company looking for a solution in this area.”
Tijen Armağan
Zero Density – Country Manager
“I have known the founders of Astera from the sector for a long time, and we have worked together on our recruitment needs for various positions. Their knowledge of technology and their experience in the technology sector have enabled them to quickly fill our open positions in Sales, Developer, and Technical Support with the right candidates. Their meticulous and professional approach, understanding of our company’s needs, access to the right candidates, and ability to accurately communicate and persuade candidates have met our expectations as our recruitment consultant. I believe they stand out with their technical background, especially in Developer recruitment, and have great experience in understanding the client’s needs and reaching the right candidate. I would definitely work with them again for future recruitment needs and recommend them to corporate firms.”
