HaGesher Group

HaGesher Group is a specialized recruitment agency based in New York that focuses exclusively on helping Israeli companies hire US-based go-to-market talent. With their tagline 'Israeli Drive. American Dream,' they bridge the cultural and business gap between Israeli organizations and the American market. The firm specializes in sales, marketing, and customer success roles across all verticals, positioning themselves as the leading U.S.-based recruiting agency for Israeli companies.

HaGesher Group addresses one of the biggest challenges Israeli companies face when expanding to the US market - finding and hiring the right talent. They understand the unique cultural dynamics and business challenges that Israeli companies encounter when building teams in America, from determining whether to hire Israeli nationals in the US to managing across two different cultures and attracting top American talent.

The company offers comprehensive recruitment services with a focus on go-to-market roles, including executives at VP level and above, customer success managers, sales professionals, engineers, marketing specialists, and specialized talent in AI, defense, and semiconductor industries. Their approach involves pre-screening candidates not just for technical skills, but specifically for how well they will integrate and work with Israeli teams and company culture.

Beyond traditional recruitment, HaGesher Group provides strategic go-to-market consulting services. They help craft in-depth GTM strategies with proper product-market-fit analysis, offering customized solutions for B2B, B2D, and B2B2C models. This includes business development support, executive coaching, and advisory services to ensure successful US market penetration.

Led by Ben Gross, a seasoned headhunter with SHRM certification, and Francesca Gross, a go-to-market expert, the team combines deep recruitment expertise with strategic market knowledge. Their proven track record includes successfully building marketing, customer success, and sales teams for multiple Israeli companies over extended partnerships, often lasting 18+ months.

The firm's value proposition centers on their extensive network, cultural understanding, and ability to deliver high-quality candidates who are specifically matched to work effectively within Israeli company structures. They pride themselves on efficient processes, quick turnaround times, and providing candidates who consistently meet the specific profiles requested by their clients.
