Since its establishment in 2009, Gifthead has collaborated with more than 60 startups and tech firms both in Israel and globally to create engineering, product, and business teams from scratch. The firm primarily targets early-stage and growth-stage startups, ranging from Seed to Series B, across in-demand sectors such as SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity, AI, deep tech, and data infrastructure. Gifthead manages recruitment for all levels, from junior developers and data engineers to VP R&D, CTO, and C-suite positions. Distinguishing itself from traditional recruitment agencies, Gifthead functions as an integrated hiring partner using a Recruitment-as-a-Service model. This approach allows for flexible, subscription-based arrangements tailored to each startup’s unique needs regarding stage, headcount, and hiring pace—whether it's a single senior hire or assembling an entire founding team. Gifthead employs a sourcing strategy that includes direct headhunting, talent mapping, and innovative outreach techniques to find top-tier candidates that typical job boards and applicant tracking systems often overlook. The team excels in targeting passive candidates within highly competitive talent areas, such as the Israeli tech scene, where the demand for skilled engineers and product leaders far exceeds supply. Gifthead serves Israeli startups, multinational R&D centers operating in Israel, and venture-backed companies hiring remotely or internationally.
