I spoke with Calcalist כלכליסט last week about how the combination of high candidate volumes and diminished in-house recruiting resources are creating tough conditions for candidates. Companies are feeling overwhelmed by the quantity of applicants, so they're either not posting roles publicly or only speaking to a tiny portion of candidates, usually the ones who get an extra push from someone in their network. This is especially difficult for groups that tend to have weaker networks in the tech ecosystem - juniors, olim, racial/ethnic/religious minority groups, candidates looking to make a career change or enter hi-tech from other industries, etc. Network-based hiring has some benefits for companies, but can also reinforce existing inequalities around access to opportunities. HR and Talent teams need to think about how to balance resource limitations against the desire to continue to build diverse, inclusive teams.

Recently, I encountered an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) issue on a utility company’s website, allowing access to other users’ information by simply adjusting a URL parameter. Thanks to the quick action from the company after I reported it, the vulnerability was patched right away. A special thank you to Ran Bar-Zik for publishing the story and helping to bring attention to the importance of strong access control in data security. A good reminder of how even simple security measures can make a big difference. https://lnkd.in/dduatyvt

The amazing Barak Danin is always sharing past lectures from conferences just before the next ones are coming. This is how I got in my mail this absolute gem of a lecture - how to design medical interfaces to add trust by the users. Adi Simon shares amazing examples of how to reorganize the data on your interface to build the trust the medical practitioners need in order to actually utilized the product. Highly recommended to anyone building medical systems. The lecture is free to watch after a quick registration (Unfortunately in Hebrew). #fertility #productmanagement

In today’s fast-paced and uncertain environment, accessing top tech talent often means expanding internationally. At COMMIT Offshore, with 200+ team members across four global centers, I’ve found that thriving in global hiring depends on two main factors: 🔑 Cultural Compatibility: Embracing cultural diversity is key. For instance, Israel’s direct style can differ greatly from the more reserved approach of Ukrainian, Armenian professionals. 🤝 Emphasis on Soft Skills: Technical expertise is critical, but it’s the adaptability, communication, and teamwork skills that truly bind a team. Identifying and understanding personality types can transform team dynamics: 🔍 The Analyst – Detail-oriented, thorough, and structured. Perfect for roles that need data-driven decisions and precision. ✅ The Task-Oriented – Mission-focused, efficient, and punctual. Ideal for tasks with tight deadlines and clear objectives. 🎤 The Promoter – Charismatic and engaging, they light up the room. Great fit for Sales and Marketing! 🤝 The Supporter – Calm, empathetic, and reliable. Perfect for roles in care-giving and customer support. Creating successful international teams goes beyond recruitment—it's about building a shared culture that resonates globally.

Please watch this video if you cherish life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The POTUS seems to have been hijacked not only by dementia, but also by Islamism, which is sweeping the free world like wildfire. As if 9/11 wasn’t enough. As if Oct 7 wasn’t enough. As if hijacking higher education and our economies in the free world wasn’t enough. It’s time for civil people to take back control and defeat Islamism. The only party that offers a way out right now are the Republicans as seen in this video, along with the Israelis who are fighting this evil while sacrificing their brightest in the process. Please consider making a donation to the speakers in this video, to Israeli soldiers at the IDF, and most importantly - speak up! Sitting quietly on the sidelines as the foundations of the civil world are shaken by Islamism (take 2, after WW2... Islamism is the ideology that inspired German National Socialism, and the one that denies it ever happened while disseminating Mein Kampf in Islamist school systems) is the worst we all could do. If you’re a Muslim that fled Islamism to live in democracies like the U.S. or Israel, you especially are indebted to uphold the values of life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. If you consider yourself a liberal, if you’re gay - you especially are indebted to uphold the values of life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness - you saw what it’s like under German National Socialism - which is today’s Progressivism, brainwashed by Islamism. Let’s fight and reject this horrific evil of Islamism together. There is no other way.

From Coffee Meeting to Corporate Board: A Story of Trust and Long-Term Relationships In 2017, I had a coffee meeting at Tel Aviv's Atidim Park with Yossi, the veteran Operations Manager of TSG IT Advanced Systems Ltd. , a leading company developing and selling software-based technological systems and related services for military and civilian markets. That initial meeting blossomed into a relationship with the company's management, focusing on planning, location strategy, and office space design for TSG's future. After two years of careful consideration, in 2019, the company made a bold move from their decades-long home in Tel Aviv's Atidim Park to a standalone building of several thousand square meters in Or Yehuda. Since then, our professional relationship has grown into one of mutual respect and appreciation. Today, I'm pleased to share that following TSG's recent initial public offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, the company's shareholders - including Israel Aerospace Industries and Formula Systems - have appointed me as an external director. This IPO marks a crucial milestone for TSG, beginning an exciting and challenging journey in the public market. I'm honored to be part of this next phase, bringing my military and civilian experience to support the company's continued growth and innovation. My appointment as an external director represents more than just a new role - it exemplifies how mutual trust and respect can evolve into long-term partnerships. As one of Israel's leading companies in the defense sector, TSG's future holds tremendous potential, and I look forward to contributing to its success.

Access management is far more than a technical task—it’s critical for preventing real-world threats. In my latest analysis for ITtime by Geektime, I break down how expired access permissions nearly led to a disaster and why even QR codes can become security risks. #Cybersecurity #AccessManagement #ITSecurity #TechInsights

Yuval Regev and his BI & Analytics team at Atera, the world’s first AI-powered IT management platform, lifted a core business KPI by 34% using the Loops Feature Impact Model. We are so proud and delighted to work with this leading analytics team. Initially, the naive effect (before/after) of a recent feature release appeared to have a positive outcome. However, with Loops they not only discovered that the causal effect was negative, they were empowered to make a series of iterative changes to maximize the KPI. You can read their case study to learn more about the process Yuval and team applied in making this significant impact on growth at Atera. #productledgrowth #causalml #causality https://lnkd.in/euc2JQDU
