It's been long lasting discussions in Turkey if the private employment industry should be legalised and regulated. Despite of non-existing laws, there are around 270 private employment agencies in Turkey, the majority of which operates in Istanbul. These are both big international firms (such as Adecco, Manpower, Randstad) as well as many Turkish companies.



The government seems to be willing to regulate the current legislative grey zone in which private employment agencies operate. In 2009, there was an attempt to pass a bill on the employment law, which would give employment agencies the right to hire workers out to employers for temporary terms, but it was vetoed by the President.



Trade unions opposed this initiative stressing that it would allow the exploitation of workers and cause unrest in the workplace.
