MERVE GUN GUL
@mervegungul
Human Resources Business Partner driving talent acquisition, employee relations, and HR analytics across media and logistics.
What I'm looking for
I’ve been the primary HR point of contact for corporate departments and business units at TRT - Turkish Radio and Television Corporation, supporting assigned brands TRT WORLD & tabii. I manage full-cycle recruitment, onboarding, and offboarding—along with exit interviews and termination processes—while keeping everything aligned with legal frameworks.
Before that, at ACUN MEDYA HOLDING, I led end-to-end talent acquisition and employer branding for fast-paced business units. I also ran executive search and headhunting for specialized and senior roles globally, and built university relations to support early-career pipelines.
At ARKAS LOGISTICS, I supported internal HR partnering across logistics and central operational departments. I worked on recruitment and onboarding, helped co-create training blueprints and talent programs, and served as a power user for the SAP HR module to streamline data integrity and reporting.
In my early career, I interned in HR at Fatih Sultan Mehmet Hospital and supported back office work at Eurocross Assistance Turkey. Together with my Labour Economics & Industrial Relations and Healthcare Management degrees, I focus on practical HR operations, structured processes, and usable reporting dashboards.
