 When you can’t afford the wrong hire.

Hiring in the U.S. is a different game.
If you’re an Israeli founder, VP or HR leader scaling in the U.S. – you’ve already felt the gap.
Most mis-hires happen in cross-border U.S. hiring because expectations, communication norms, and success metrics don’t match – especially in first U.S. leadership hires.

We help Israeli-led startups build high-trust U.S. teams for U.S. Expansion – from stealth to Series B, from first U.S. hire to VP to C-level. See real outcomesSuccess Stories

Three ways we can support you:

How We Make It Happen?

We work like Israelis – fast and direct. But we run cross-border U.S. executive search like Americans – structured, rigorous, and signal-driven.

Our process:

  1. Deep intake: business, stage, and success metrics – not just a job description
  2. Target map: roles, competitor talent pools, and calibration
  3. Precision sourcing: senior network + direct outreach
  4. Screening: competency + leadership + behavioral + cultural fit for Israeli-led environments
  5. Shortlist: only candidates we’d hire ourselves
  6. Close support: references, offer strategy, and decision-speed alignment

What makes it different:

  • We act like an embedded partner – not a resume vendor
  • We decode urgency and turn it into a decision-ready shortlist
  • We optimize for trust and retention, not just “time-to-fill”

Plus: A Culturally Fluent Talent Network

A culturally fluent talent network isn’t a buzzword.
We work with U.S.-based executives who’ve already succeeded inside Israeli-led companies – including GTM leaders who move fast, communicate directly, and execute under pressure.
Why cultural fluency mattersFAQ

Bottom Line:

We help you build high-trust, high-impact U.S. teams.

Not a hunch. A structured process.
