What is Kariyer.net?
Kariyer.net is a job board founded in 1999 that describes itself as Turkey's largest employment platform. It brings job seekers and employers together; listings come from every sector and level, candidates' résumés sit in a database, and employers can search that pool. It also runs career events at universities and has a separate category for internship listings.
Kariyer.net's strength is breadth: a good place to look at the job market of a sector or city as a whole.
The core difference: a wide pool, or a focus on early careers?
A wide pool is an advantage for someone looking for an experienced role. For someone looking for a first internship or first job, early-career listings get lost among thousands that ask for experience.
Proyo's listing feed contains only internship, MT, YTP and graduate listings. A listing you see elsewhere — including an internship on Kariyer.net — is added to Proyo by pasting its link; LinkedIn postings come in with one click through the Chrome extension. Searching for jobs stops being a separate chore.
The other difference is the business model. On job boards like Kariyer.net, the employer who posts and searches the résumé database pays; the candidate uses the site for free. Proyo's customer is the candidate, and the product is designed to strengthen the candidate's application.
One résumé, or a CV for every posting?
On job boards you usually build one résumé and apply with it. But every posting looks for something different. At large companies your CV first passes through an applicant tracking system — according to Jobscan, 97.8% of Fortune 500 companies use one — and then a recruiter spends an average of 7.4 seconds on the first look (Ladders).
Proyo prepares your CV separately for every posting: it writes the summary for that role, brings the relevant experience forward, uses the posting's own wording where your CV supports it, and outputs a single-column PDF with selectable text and standard headings. It takes 15–20 seconds; nothing that isn't in your CV is added, and you decide what stays.
When is Kariyer.net the better choice?
Kariyer.net makes sense if:
- You are looking for an experienced role or a part-time job.
- You want to look at a city's or sector's listings as a whole.
- You want employers to find you in a résumé database.
For internship, MT, YTP and graduate programmes, what wins the application is a tailored, ATS-friendly CV and organised tracking — and that is Proyo's job.
Verdict
Kariyer.net is a wide job board for job seekers at every level; Proyo is an application platform for people looking for their first internship and first job. If you must choose one platform early in your career, choose Proyo: it brings listings into one feed, lets you add any listing you see elsewhere, and prepares a tailored, ATS-friendly CV for every application.
