Careers

We are looking for team members to grow our work, which runs from the source of an organic product to its delivery, together with us.

At Biosmyrna, sourcing, quality, storage, shipment, foreign trade and Bioyem production move forward as interconnected processes. At every stage, we need accurate information, accurate records and people who follow their work with care.

How do we work?

Five core principles guide our daily work:

  1. Traceability
  2. Organic integrity
  3. Regulatory compliance
  4. Honesty and transparency
  5. Continuous improvement

We expect our team members to share this approach as well: to take responsibility for their work, to see records and documentation as a natural part of the job, and to raise the issues they encounter openly.

Because in organic product trade, trust rests not only on the product, but also on the process and the people behind it.

The result matters.So does how we get there.

For us, good work is work where not only the result matters, but also how that result was reached.

Which areas do we work in?

At Biosmyrna, different areas of expertise work together:

  • Sourcing and foreign trade
  • Quality and traceability
  • Bioyem production – Torbalı, İzmir
  • Storage, shipment and logistics
  • Finance and administration

Each of these areas is part of the chain that runs from the product’s source to the customer.

Personal Data and the Application Process

You can find detailed information on how your personal data is processed in connection with your job application in the Job Application Privacy Notice.

Required
Job Application Privacy Notice

1. Data Controller

Under Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (“KVKK”), the data controller for the processing of your personal data in connection with your job application is:

Biosmyrna Gıda Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.
Kazım Karabekir Mah. Bekir Saydam Cad. B6 Blok No:104B6 İç Kapı No:17
Torbalı, İzmir — TÜRKİYE
Email: info@biosmyrna.com
Telephone: +90 232 502 61 60
Website: https://www.biosmyrna.com

This Privacy Notice has been prepared in relation to the processing of candidates’ personal data in connection with job and internship applications at Biosmyrna.

2. Personal Data Processed in Connection with Job Applications

The following personal data is processed through the job application form on our website:

  • Identity information: first name and surname.
  • Contact information: email address, telephone number and, if you provide it, the city where you live.
  • Education information: educational status and the education details you include in your CV.
  • Professional information: length of professional experience, the position or field of work you are applying for, and the duties, competencies and certificates you include in your CV.
  • Application and assessment information: your cover letter, the CV file you upload, your statements during the application process and records relating to the assessment process.

What is not collected. The application form does not ask for a photograph, video or audio recording; date of birth, identity number, marital status, military service status and similar information are not requested. Your IP address is not recorded in the application record.

Information you add to your CV of your own accord (for example, a photograph) may be contained in the file; such information has not been separately requested by us.

3. Special Categories of Personal Data

Special categories of personal data (such as health, criminal convictions and security measures, biometric and genetic data, religion, sect, philosophical belief, and membership of associations, foundations and trade unions) are never asked for on the application form.

You are advised not to share information of this nature in your CV or cover letter. If it is nevertheless shared, such data may be processed only where the conditions set out in Article 6 of the KVKK are met and the processing activity concerned is necessary.

4. Purposes of Processing Personal Data

Your personal data obtained in connection with your job application is processed for the following purposes:

  • Receiving and recording your application,
  • Assessing your candidacy for the position applied for,
  • Assessing your education, experience, competencies and professional suitability,
  • Conducting interview and assessment processes,
  • Communicating with you about the application process,
  • Planning and conducting recruitment processes and making the recruitment decision,
  • If you are hired, making preparations to begin employment processes,
  • Fulfilling legal obligations and responding to requests from competent public institutions and organisations,
  • Establishing, exercising or protecting a right, and conducting legal processes relating to recruitment.

5. Legal Grounds for Processing Personal Data

  • Receiving and assessing the application and communicating with you: processing being directly related to the establishment of a contract (employment contract) (KVKK Art. 5/2-c) and the legitimate interest of the data controller, provided that it does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms (KVKK Art. 5/2-f).
  • Retention in the candidate pool: only your explicit consent (KVKK Art. 5/1).
  • Legal obligations and requests from public institutions: processing being expressly provided for by law and necessary to fulfil a legal obligation (KVKK Art. 5/2-a, Art. 5/2-ç).
  • Management of disputes: processing being necessary to establish, exercise or protect a right (KVKK Art. 5/2-e).

The obligation to inform applies regardless of whether data processing is based on explicit consent or on another processing condition under the Law. For this reason, the confirmation that you have read the privacy notice and the explicit consent for the candidate pool are obtained in separate boxes.

6. Method of Collecting Personal Data

Your personal data is collected electronically through:

  • the job application form on the Biosmyrna website,
  • the CV file you upload through the form,
  • communication by email or telephone,
  • interviews and meetings held if your application progresses.

Our job postings may also be published on kariyer.net. Applications made through this platform are viewed in the platform’s own employer panel; the application information is provided to Biosmyrna by the platform through this panel.

For applications made through Kariyer.net, the platform’s own privacy notice and data processing procedures also apply. This Privacy Notice relates to the data processing activities involved in Biosmyrna’s assessment of your application.

Apart from this, no cloud-based applicant tracking system (ATS) or human resources software is used.

7. Transfer of Personal Data

Your personal data processed in connection with your application may be transferred, limited to the purpose of processing, to the following groups of recipients:

  • Authorised Biosmyrna employees involved in the recruitment process,
  • The provider of the server (hosting) on which the website is hosted and the email service provider — solely for the technical operation of the service,
  • Professional advisers providing legal, financial advisory and audit services — only to the extent required by the service concerned,
  • Legally authorised public institutions and organisations.

No external human resources or consultancy services are used in the recruitment process; applications are assessed by Biosmyrna.

Biosmyrna holds an employer subscription on kariyer.net, and job postings may also be published on this platform. If the posting is seen on kariyer.net and the application is made through that platform, the platform’s own privacy notice and data processing procedures also apply. This Privacy Notice relates to applications received through Biosmyrna’s own website.

Applications made through our website are stored on Biosmyrna’s own server and are not transferred to any other platform. Kariyer.net processes data only with respect to applications made through that platform and within its own system; applications received from our website are not sent to this platform.

8. Transfer of Personal Data Abroad

The application form and the CV you upload are sent directly to the server on which Biosmyrna’s website is located; no data is sent from the visitor’s browser to any service provider abroad.

The information you enter in the application form and your CV file are not sent to Google Analytics or any other measurement service. The website’s visit statistics are measured only with your explicit consent, as described in the Cookie Policy.

The servers on which the hosting and email services are run are located in Türkiye.

Your personal data is therefore not transferred abroad.

Where a transfer abroad is to take place, it is carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 9 of the KVKK.

9. Retention Period of Personal Data

Your personal data obtained in connection with your job application is retained for as long as necessary to conduct the application process, taking into account the retention periods set out in the relevant legislation.

  • Application records and CV files: 1 year from the date of application
  • Candidate pool record (if explicit consent has been given): 1 year from the date on which explicit consent was given

When the period expires and there is no other legal or factual reason requiring retention, your personal data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised in accordance with Biosmyrna’s personal data retention and destruction procedures.

10. Candidate Pool

In addition to assessing your application for the current position, assessing it in the candidate pool for suitable positions that may arise in the future is subject to separate explicit consent.

This consent is obtained on the application form by means of a separate, unticked box. Declining to be included in the candidate pool does not affect the assessment of your current job application.

Details are explained in the “Candidate Pool Explicit Consent Form”.

11. Application Documents and CVs

Only a single CV file in PDF or Word (DOC, DOCX) format and no larger than 5 MB can be uploaded through the application form.

Uploaded files are kept in a secure directory that cannot be downloaded by typing a web address, and can be accessed only by authorised users involved in the recruitment process.

If the CV or other documents you send contain personal data belonging to third parties (for example, the contact details of referees), you must take the necessary care with regard to sharing those people’s information.

12. Data Security

Technical and administrative measures appropriate to the nature of the data processed are taken to prevent the unlawful processing of, and unlawful access to, personal data processed in connection with job applications. The technical measures actually applied in the application process are:

  • Forgery (CSRF) protection with a session key for form submissions,
  • Multi-layered checks against automated bot submissions,
  • Checks of both the extension and the file content (MIME) of uploaded files, and a size limit,
  • Keeping CV files in a secure directory that cannot be downloaded by address,
  • Application records not being published and being kept only in the administration panel accessible to authorised users,
  • Server-side validation of each field individually.

No security verification (CAPTCHA) service is used during the application; this choice has been made both for accessibility and so that candidate data does not go to external services.

13. Rights of the Data Subject

Under Article 11 of the KVKK, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • To learn whether your personal data is being processed,
  • If it has been processed, to request information about this,
  • To learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used in accordance with that purpose,
  • To know the third parties in Türkiye or abroad to whom personal data is transferred,
  • To request the correction of personal data if it has been processed incompletely or inaccurately,
  • To request the deletion or destruction of personal data within the framework of the conditions set out in the KVKK,
  • To request that correction, deletion or destruction operations be notified to third parties to whom the personal data has been transferred,
  • To object to a result arising against you through the analysis of the processed data exclusively by automated systems,
  • To request compensation for damage if you suffer damage due to the unlawful processing of personal data.

14. Submitting Applications

You may submit your applications regarding your rights under the KVKK to Biosmyrna in accordance with Article 13 of the KVKK and the related secondary legislation.

Details of the application procedure are explained in the “KVKK Data Subject Application Procedure”.

15. Relationship with Other Personal Data Texts

The detailed provisions on the processing of your personal data in connection with job applications are set out in this Privacy Notice. However, the following texts relate to different purposes and processes:

  • the KVKK Privacy Notice,
  • the Privacy Policy,
  • the Cookie Policy and Cookie Notice,
  • the Candidate Pool Explicit Consent Form,
  • the Terms of Use and other relevant legal texts.

These texts do not replace one another. In particular, the privacy notice and the explicit consent form are assessed separately; where a processing activity requires explicit consent, explicit consent is obtained separately and for a specific purpose.

16. Updates to the Notice

Biosmyrna may update this Privacy Notice in line with changes in its job application processes or personal data processing activities. The updated text is published on the website together with its effective date and version information.

If the purpose of processing personal data changes, the necessary information is provided to the data subjects before the new processing activity begins.

Candidate Pool Explicit Consent Form

1. Purpose of Explicit Consent

I acknowledge that I have read the Job Application Privacy Notice provided to me by Biosmyrna Gıda Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (“Biosmyrna”) in connection with my job application, and that I have been informed about the processing of my personal data.

This Explicit Consent Form governs my explicit consent, separately from the assessment of my current job application, to the processing of my personal data for the purpose of assessing it in the candidate pool for job or internship positions that may arise at Biosmyrna in the future and that may match my qualifications.

2. Personal Data Subject to Explicit Consent

Within the scope of the candidate pool, the following data provided by me during the application process and necessary for this purpose may be processed:

  • my identity information (first name and surname),
  • my contact information (email address, telephone number and, if I provided it, the city where I live),
  • my education information,
  • my professional experience and career information,
  • information on the position or field of work I applied for,
  • other professional information in my CV and my cover letter.

No special categories of personal data are processed within the scope of the candidate pool.

3. Purpose of Processing

Under my explicit consent, I consent to my personal data being processed for the purposes of:

  • being assessed in the candidate pool for suitable job or internship positions that may arise in the future,
  • identifying positions that may match my qualifications,
  • contacting me if a suitable position arises.

This explicit consent does not replace the personal data processing activities necessary for Biosmyrna to assess my current job application, and it cannot be put forward as a mandatory condition for those activities.

4. Retention Period

My personal data processed within the scope of the candidate pool is retained for the period stated below and in accordance with the relevant legislation:

Candidate pool retention period: 1 year from the date on which explicit consent is given

When the set retention period expires, or the legal reason requiring continued retention in the candidate pool ceases to exist, my personal data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised in accordance with the relevant legislation.

5. Voluntary Nature of Explicit Consent

Joining the candidate pool is voluntary.

The candidate pool consent box on the application form is not mandatory and is not pre-ticked. You can submit your application without ticking this box.

Declining to join the candidate pool does not affect the assessment of my current job application, and I will not be subjected to any unfavourable treatment for this reason.

6. Withdrawal of Explicit Consent

I may withdraw my explicit consent relating to the candidate pool at any time.

I can submit my withdrawal request through the following channel:

Withdrawal channel: info@biosmyrna.com

Postal address:
Kazım Karabekir Mah. Bekir Saydam Cad. B6 Blok No:104B6 İç Kapı No:17
Torbalı, İzmir — TÜRKİYE

If I withdraw my explicit consent, data processing activities within the scope of the candidate pool after the date of withdrawal are stopped, unless another legal processing condition applies.

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of explicit consent before the date of withdrawal.

7. Transfer of Personal Data

My personal data processed within the scope of the candidate pool may be transferred, only where necessary to achieve the relevant purposes and where the conditions set out in the KVKK are met, to:

  • authorised persons at Biosmyrna involved in recruitment processes,
  • the provider of the server (hosting) on which the website is hosted and the email service provider — solely for the technical operation of the service,
  • legally authorised public institutions and organisations.

Candidate pool records are not transferred to a cloud-based applicant tracking system (ATS), human resources software or an external storage service; the records are kept in the website’s own database.

8. Transfer Abroad

Personal data within the scope of the candidate pool is kept on the server on which the website is located; it is not transferred to any other service provider or platform.

The servers on which the hosting and email services are run are located in Türkiye.

Your personal data is therefore not transferred abroad.

Where a transfer abroad is to take place, it is carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 9 of the KVKK.

9. Relationship with the Privacy Notice

This Explicit Consent Form relating to the candidate pool does not replace the Job Application Privacy Notice.

Information on the purposes for which and the legal grounds on which my personal data is processed in connection with the job application and the candidate pool, to whom it may be transferred, and my rights under the KVKK is provided in the Job Application Privacy Notice.

This form is intended solely to obtain my explicit consent for the personal data processing activities identified as necessary for assessment in the candidate pool.

10. Declaration of Explicit Consent

I have read the explanations above.

I give my explicit consent to the processing of my personal data, separately from the assessment of my current job application, for the purpose of assessing it in the candidate pool for job or internship positions that may arise at Biosmyrna Gıda Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. in the future and that may match my qualifications, and of contacting me if suitable positions are found.

This consent is presented as a separate box on the job application form; it is not pre-ticked and is not required in order to submit the application.
