Gifthead

Gifthead is Recruitment-as-a-Service for Israeli tech founders bleeding money on open hiring cycles.

Since 2009, we've partnered with 60+ startups (Seed to Series B) across SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity, AI, and deep tech. A single unfilled VP Engineering role burns $30–50k/month in lost velocity. Every week of open headcount is a week of deferred features, missed revenue, and slipping fundraise timelines.

Why traditional recruiting fails: Generic recruiters don't understand your burn rate. They source from job boards. Meanwhile, your Series A timeline is slipping.

Our model: We embed as your hiring function — not a vendor. Subscription-based, flexible engagement. Our sourcing methodology reverse-engineers the top 1% of Israeli tech talent via GitHub mapping, direct outreach, and passive networks job boards never access. Time-to-offer: 21–30 days.

We specialize in:- CTO/VP R&D/VP Product (your first technical leader)- Go-to-Market builds (VP Sales, AEs, Customer Success)- Full engineering team buildouts

Who we serve: Seed to Series B founders. R&D centers. Israeli startups hiring globally.
