Building U.S. teams for Israeli-founded companies.
Already worked with Edith? Start here

You know how to hire in Israel. The U.S. plays by different rules.

The role. The market. The person. Get one wrong, and the hire fails.

Boutique Executive Search for Israeli-founded companies in the U.S.

A U.S. headhunter and executive search partner for Israeli-founded companies hiring in America. When the need is ongoing rather than one role, Talent-as-a-Service covers that too: same person, same standard, priced as a monthly engagement instead of a single search.

Hiring journey
First U.S. HireFull Leadership Team
Not just C-suite: the Finance Manager, the Head of Sales, the Operations lead, whoever actually runs the team.

It never starts with a job title.

It starts with a moment: the one where how you’ve been operating stops being enough.
Go-to-Market & Sales
“I can’t be the one closing every deal anymore.”
Finance
“We’ve outgrown the way we’ve always managed finance.”
Operations
“Nobody here has actually built a U.S. operation from scratch.”
Executive Leadership
“I’ve been running this myself, and I can’t keep doing both.”
Also filled: Engineering & R&D, HR & People, and Marketing.
How this actually works

Most searches
never get past the brief.

The right hire starts with understanding the business, not the job description.

What the company asks for.
They stop here.
Understanding the Business
Before looking for people.

The resume can be right. The culture fit can be right. The comp can be right. The hire can still be wrong.

Miss one, and the other two won’t save it, usually not until months in, once it’s already expensive to fix.

That’s what I check for before it happens. Even when the brief’s already been signed off. Even when running it as given would be faster.

The Brief We Received. The Role We Built.

A company came to us needing a Sales Executive.
The diagnosis changed. The title followed.

  • Full P&L ownership, not direct sales responsibility.
  • Multiple product lines, not one.
A better job description wouldn’t have solved this search. A better diagnosis did.

Fundtech's Head of HR needed a hiring partner who'd actually learn the business, not just fill requisitions.

The clearest evidence: clients who come back.

61% of my placements are with clients I’ve already worked with. 48% of those, for a completely different function than the one I originally filled.

Not because of convenience. Because the sixth search gets the same attention as the first.

I have had the pleasure of working with Edith from both sides of the spectrum, where I was the candidate and later on the hiring part. I stand by every word stated here from both perspectives.
Daniela Gorelov, Managing Director of the Americas, Acoustiguide

Before we talk.

Conversations I have every week.

The most important decision happens before the search starts.
“How fast can you help us?”
Most searches are completed within 35–60 days. Speed matters, but only after the role has been defined correctly.
The goal isn’t replacing the wrong hire. It’s reducing the chance you’ll need to.
“What if the hire doesn’t work?”
Both engagement models include a built-in protection period if a placement doesn’t work out early on.
The search doesn’t start with the role. It starts with understanding the business.
“Why does U.S. hiring require a different approach?”
Because hiring someone who can work effectively with Israeli leadership is different from hiring someone who has simply worked in America. That difference shows up long before the first interview.
“The longer I do this, the less I believe a job description tells the whole story.”

After relocating to the U.S., I had to earn my place in a market that played by different rules.

Since 2006, I’ve partnered with Israeli-founded companies building teams across the U.S. My background is in Organizational Psychology. It’s why every search starts with getting the hiring decision right, not with posting the role.

The person you’re reading about is the person you’ll work with.
