Burcu Önder
Allianz Türkiye
Talent Acquisition Manager
In an increasingly competitive IT talent market, Allianz Turkey is taking an unconventional and socially driven approach to recruitment. Boris Plantier from Qorus spoke with Burcu Önder, Talent Acquisition Manager, to learn how the company is addressing the challenges of attracting and retaining young tech professionals – while building inclusive programs like BeMyFuture and Allwonders to transform both careers and lives.
What challenges are you facing as an employer when it comes to recruiting young talent, particularly those specialized in new technologies?
Recruiting young tech talent is increasingly complex, especially in the post-pandemic landscape shaped by the ‘great resignation’ and ‘quiet quitting’ trends. In Turkey, the IT sector faces heightened competition, with many candidates opting for global companies offering foreign currency salaries. High turnover, difficulty retaining talent, and the emigration of young professionals have further intensified the challenge. Additionally, many computer engineering graduates have unrealistic salary expectations, while others are determined to work abroad. These dynamics have forced us to rethink our recruitment strategies, prompting more agile, inclusive and innovative solutions.
