Internet is the most common environment for companies to publish open positions or search the best suitable jobs for job seekers. Because of this inclination, the number of the deployed human resource sites increases day by day.We may conclude that people has accepted the internet as the most efficient tool for reaching information because of its fast evolution and the continuously enlargement of information in it. This situation looks like an advantage for reachig huge information but the enlargement of information makes difficult to find the correct information. In the future, the problem will likely to be more critical. To solve this problem which will possibly result in many important problems, especially W3C and many other foundations and leading IT corporations come with the solution ?Semantic Web?.In the thesis, companies can publish their open positions by using the recruitment ontology which we have designed. Also job seekers can appeal to suitable positions which are published. Candidates realized this appeal by using their Turkish Republic identity number. During this appeal, our application collects information about candidate by using web services which are pretended to be published by government institutions. Candidates, whose information is collected from government institutions, are accepted if his information is suitable for the position. If candidate?s information is not suitable for position, we finalized the appealing process and represent the non suitable information of candidate.Key Words: Semantic Web, Ontology, Web Service, Recruitment
