Competition investigation into Kariyer.net! Data and pricing policies under scrutiny

The Competition Authority has launched a significant investigation into Kariyer.net, one of Turkey's leading online job posting platforms. In a statement published on the authority's website, it was stated that an investigation will be conducted into whether the platform has used various methods to maintain its dominant position in the sector.

One of the focal points of the investigation will be the data consolidation practices that Kariyer.net carries out with the “işinolsun.com” platform, which operates within the same economic entity. Additionally, the platform's pricing strategies and intensive advertising expenditures will be examined in detail.

The Board will attempt to determine whether these practices are restrictive to competition and whether Kariyer.net is abusing its market dominance. If it is decided at the end of the investigation that the platform has violated competition rules, various sanctions may be brought to the agenda.

NO STATEMENT YET

No official statement has yet been made by Kariyer.net and işinolsun.com officials. It is awaited with curiosity how the investigation will impact the sector in the coming days.
