Developers don’t spend their days just writing code. According to Zohar Einy, Co-founder and CEO of Port.io, coding is only a small part of the job. Ownership is the real work. In this episode of IsraelTech, Zohar breaks down how engineering teams actually operate today, why AI agents are creating new risks inside enterprises, and how Port is helping teams move faster without losing control. We also talk about pressure in Israeli tech, working with investors as real partners, and what it means to build a company meant to last.

Last night I attended Her Tel Aviv's "Getting Hired Panel: Crack The Code to Landing Your Dream Job" meetup at the Nefesh B'Nefesh TLV office. Panelists included HR and Recruitment professionals: 🌟 Merav Blum – Fullpath 🌟 Adi Gdalyahu– Payoneer 🌟 Rachel Leon – Eisner Amper 🌟 Adi Orenshtein – D-ID 🌟 Tslil Shraiber – Agoda RE Moderated by Sivan Hadari-Avneri, HER Tel Aviv Founder Among the many wonderful insights the panel gave, I wanted to share some of their best tips for writing your CV to land your dream job: ⚫ Always show and discuss your metrics and success numbers. ⚫ If you have a title that isn't a usual one you see in the industry, find one that's more common and use that in your CV, so HR knows where you fit in. ⚫ Simplify your language so that HR understands your abilities and isn't lost in complicated explanations. ⚫ Tailor your CV to the role or HR might pass, especially if your resume lists previous positions that are irrelevant. Also, avoid uploading your LinkedIn profile as your CV because it's too broad for HR to read through to understand why you might be a good fit. ⚫ Make sure the information on your CV (titles, dates, responsibilities) matches what you wrote on your LinkedIn profile so that it doesn't raise any red flags. ⚫ Keep your resume in English (this is more geared towards the tech world) so that the ATS can scan it. ⚫ No pictures. No age. No city. Keep CV to max 2 pages. Keep to normal font size. ⚫ If you have a gap in between jobs, especially if it was for maternity leave, or aliyah or some other reason, write the reason for the break on your CV so HR doesn't have to assume the worst. ⚫ Make sure your CV uses keywords or buzzwords from the job description in order for it to stand out. Interview and application tips: - Read up about the company and understanding the role. Come prepared to an interview with what you want the HR to know about you beyond your past jobs or skills. Show some personality. - If you apply through an employee refferal, don't apply through the job board or LinkedIn first. That employee will not get the referral bonus. - Don't be shy, don't press apply: instead of applying thru a LinkedIn job post, do some research and see if you can have an employee submit your CV for you. You will get farther doing that than on LinkedIn. Any other tips you think we should add to this already wonderful list?

And voila, your 2026 revenue targets are already in play! Israeli startups are phenomenal at building product. Global hiring is where too many lose time, burn cash, and miss targets. Not because the talent doesn't exist. Because the search is approached like a transaction instead of a strategy. Here's what we see at CQ Global again and again, when Israeli teams try to hire their first U.S. or European commercial leaders. *You hire for logo instead of fit to stage. *A scale leader is not always the right leader for zero to one revenue motion. *You focus on titles instead of defining outcomes. *VP Sales can mean builder, closer, manager, or all three. If you do not define the job, you cannot assess it. *You rely on inbound and your network which are limited. *You don't build a realistic achievable target as part of the search process. *You rush to “fill the seat” and forget the cost of being wrong. *You underestimate cultural and market nuance. That is not a pipeline. That is hope. And hope does not build a GTM team. Messaging, pricing, sales cycles, buyer objections, and even what “good” looks like changes by region. A miss-hire in a key commercial role is not a delay. It is a reset. Doing this better takes experience, attitude, depth, and precision. Treat the search like a partnership, with full transparency, honesty and speed. Build for the org you'll be in 12 months, not the org you are today. Clarify the role with precision and align all stakeholders. Benchmark comp and equity by region and stage. Map the real market, not the obvious names. Remember that the best people are not looking proactively. Assess for stage fit, operating style, and repeatable performance. Design an interview process that predicts outcomes. Drive closing with clean expectations on both sides. If you are an Israeli CEO building outside Israel, the question is not “Can we hire globally?” You can. The question is "Do you have the depth, clarity, knowhow and experience to find the best people? If you're planning a first U.S. AE, VP Sales, CRO, or regional leader, or are growing/upgrading your U.S. team, tell me what stage you're at and where you're hiring. I'll be happy to analyse your commercial/GTM challenges, share the three biggest pitfalls to avoid and map out the main success factors that can make a difference! #GlobalHeadhunting #ExecutiveSearch #GTM #SalesLeadership #IsraeliStartups #ScaleUp #TalentStrategy #BusinessSuccess

There is a unique kind of resilience in the Israeli tech ecosystem. It’s the quiet determination to keep building, even when the reality around us is complex. Today, we are proud to stand behind Fig Security as they emerge from stealth. Fig has raised $38M in Seed and Series A funding, with Team8 and Ten Eleven Ventures leading the rounds. This investment addresses the critical need for a resilient SOC in modern enterprises. While the industry has spent a decade adding more tools and more dashboards, the infrastructure beneath them has become fragile. When environments change, detections break silently. Fig provides the layer of assurance that ensures those defenses actually work when they matter most. ProFounders Gal Shafir, Nir Loya Dahan, and Roy Haimof deeply understand this problem. From building Siemplify (Now Part of Google Cloud) to leading global security architecture at Google, they’ve seen firsthand that even the most advanced AI agents are only as strong as the security foundation they rely on. To the entire Fig team, thank you for your grit and for showing what it means to push forward. Your resilience reflects the strength of Israeli tech. We are proud to be your partners as you define the future of resilient security operations. #SuccessbyDesign Ori Barzilay, Liran Grinberg, Sarit Firon, Amir Zilberstein, Aviad Harell, Ori Yankelev, Asaf Azulay

Marketing SHOULD be fun ✨ Aviv Canaani went from VP of Marketing to CRO at Datarails over four years. During that time, the company grew 10X and flipped from 95% outbound to 95% inbound. All while having fun with their audience So... How do you balance brand vs performance? Aviv's POV for you: Most B2B companies treat brand and performance as competing budget items. Aviv unified them under one revenue leader. When you own both marketing spend and sales outcomes, the incentives align. They saw THIS shift happen after the 2022 market crash. Outbound meetings held steady but close rates dropped. Inbound leads converted at much higher rates because those prospects already knew the brand and came in with intent. Brand building makes performance channels work better. But... Aviv's brand building looks nothing like traditional B2B Datarails runs ads featuring Kim Kardashian memes to sell FP&A software to CFOs. They create content with creators from Fiverr. They post jokes on LinkedIn. The head of growth came from mobile gaming, not enterprise software. The thesis is simple: You're selling to humans, not corporations CFOs scroll IG and watch funny videos just like everyone else. Playing it safe is the biggest risk because safe content gets ignored. The key is balance. Datarails pairs scroll stopping content with deep thought leadership. They run a podcast called FP&A Today with over 500,000 downloads. They share data driven insights and interview finance leaders. They give their audience BOTH entertainment and substance. Just like Tiesto. Aviv's team includes people from B2C backgrounds for that exact reason. They produce high volumes of video content, test what works, and feed the algorithms. His prediction for the next phase is that marketing becomes even more human. He's already seeing more sponsored posts from people rather than company pages. Customers talking about products. CEOs and CMOs building personal brands. AKA... Be more human. Have fun with your audience This is the way ✌️ P.S. Make sure you give Aviv a follow!
