Google Fires 28 Workers Protesting Billion-Dollar Israeli Cloud Contract!! After a number of workers participated in a sit-in protest against its cloud contract with the #Israeli government, a day after nine staffers were suspended and then arrested for participating in the protest. In a memo, the company alleged the protesting workers “took over office spaces” and “defaced our property,” while the group behind the protests, called No Tech for Apartheid, said that the firings were “clearly retaliatory.” https://lnkd.in/ehTrZDU6 For more information on open positions, we are working on globally with our Portfolio Clients then contact Andrew Robinson FREC, louise robinson or Rebecca Beauchamp call us on +44 (0)1923 312435.

𝘼𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝙉𝙤 𝙉𝙚𝙚𝙙, 𝙄 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡.. 🚀 Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. 📌A few months ago, I joined LinkedIn with high hopes of meeting people who could help bring my project to life. But reality had other plans: ➡️ I met many people, but they had their own priorities. ➡️ My plan was deemed a failure, and I was labeled as incompetent. ➡️ It shattered my heart, and I found myself on the verge of giving up. 🔷 In my darkest moment, my big brother (Dada) stepped in with wisdom that reignited my spirit: 📌 "Do it. I trust you. Research your plan once again with a clear mind. Never let yourself feel demotivated." 🔷 This profound advice taught me several invaluable lessons: ➡️ When you feel like giving up, give it one more try. Often, success is just around the corner. ➡️ Always trust in yourself. Your belief in your abilities is the first step towards achieving your goals. ➡️ Share your struggles with your loved ones. Their support can be the catalyst you need, just as my Dada’s faith was for me. 🔷 Remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback. Keep pushing forward, and never lose hope. 🙂Comment below if u find anything wrong and do correct me also tell me if u have feel same in comment section... #Perseverance #SelfBelief #NeverGiveUp #SupportSystem #OvercomingObstacles #Inspiration #Motivation #Leadership

Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

This knowledge helps in setting realistic expectations and creating an appealing work environment for American recruits. 🎯 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Ensure clear and transparent communication. American professionals appreciate direct and open conversations, but also value politeness and respect. Tailor your communication style to be assertive yet considerate. Explain and clearly convey the company's values and vision. This will increase the chances to attract top-tier talent. 🎯 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Provide timely communication with the candidate throughout the hiring process. Ghosting can be very damaging to the employer brand. A positive experience can be a deciding factor in their choice to join your organization. When providing negative responses, it's customary to email the candidate and thank them for their time and effort in the hiring process and leave an open door for future opportunities.

“𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 6 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦!” Ever had one of those interviews where you gave everything, waited for hours, and still walked out feeling like something was missing? Yeah, I had one of those days. 6 hours of sitting, waiting, talking, and hoping for the best, only to leave the room with more questions than answers. It wasn’t about being unprepared or lacking skills; I was ready. I gave it my all. But sometimes, the process takes a toll on your confidence. Here’s my takeaway from that exhausting experience: 🕳 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬: The longer you wait, the more doubt creeps in. What are they thinking? Why is it taking so long? 🕳 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮: Sometimes, no matter how good you are, the fit just isn’t there. And that’s frustrating, especially when you’ve invested time and energy. 🕳 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥: Mentally, physically, emotionally – it all hits you. You start replaying every answer in your head, wondering what went wrong. It’s hard not to feel disappointed when you’ve put in the work, waited, and still don’t get the results you hoped for. But here’s the reality – every interview is a lesson. Some teach patience, others teach resilience. That’s where 𝐈’𝐦 𝐚𝐭. Picking myself up and reminding myself that this is just one step in the journey. #InterviewExperience #JobSearchStruggles #PatienceTested #CareerJourney #RealTalk #LessonsLearned LinkedIn Google LinkedIn for Learning

What if all the trending #buzzwords, when put together, actually made sense? 🧐 I spoke about global #election campaigns, and how #AI-generated #deepfake was used in trying to skew them. The talk is in Hebrew, but I'm sure there's an AI for that 😉 It was based on detailed research by CP<R>'s Yoav Arad Pinkas, which can be read here - https://lnkd.in/dGfkR4vE Wikimedia Israel Reichman University Check Point Software https://lnkd.in/dRpPKf3X

TL;DR: We had interns, they did great work, and I am super proud of them and thankful to Google and especially Alon Cohen, Moran Otorgust, Tehila Gourary, Shaked Tal, Netanel Persik, Yoav Yanovski who let me take part in this initiative, Not So short version: I am a big supporter of on-the-job-training. I believe our education system is fundamentally broken and the entire way we train people for both work and life needs to change.  When I heard from Shaked that this is a possibility, I started looking for what type of tasks in my domain they can take on. “What kind of skills do they have?” “Basic python”. “I can work with that”. Our highschool interns wrote api tests that verify api credentials for the integration lab. They also wrote selenium automation that does the same for UI credentials. They did meaningful work, and they got paid for it, much better than working the usual summer jobs highschoolers get. So yeah, We had to match the tasks to the programmers, We had to help them a bit with ramp-up, and working with juniors means spending more time supporting them. But now they are almost fully independent, picking up their own tasks, managing most of the development and testing themselves, Just goes to show you how quickly people can learn and become productive with the right motivation. This is useful work, and they were only here for a month, working 3 days a week. Imagine what we could’ve done if we had them for longer. I’m super proud of you Daria Dvoeglazova, Darina Grinkrug, Roman Tymoshchuk, Hadas Zelibanski, shlomit abaye, and feel a great satisfaction to have been a part of on-boarding you to the tech industry.

I did not invest in Firefly. In fact, the first time I heard of this venture was probably after learning about their CTO/ Co-Founder, Sefi Genis, who tragically lost his life at the Nova music festival on October 7th. Later, I got acquainted with Ido Neeman, the CEO/ Co-Founder, and discovered that Firefly had an ongoing business relationship with one of our portfolio companies. Sefi’s and Firefly’s story touched me deeply on a personal level. As an early-stage investor, when evaluating new teams, we often consider many risks—most of which are difficult to even hypostatize. We think of risks, such as lack of PMF, challenges to achieve traction, etc. However, it's unimaginable to think that a startup founder/ CTO might meet such a tragic fate as Sefi did. I followed Firefly’s journey from afar, occasionally exchanging messages with Ido. The interview Ido gave to Moshe Zilberstein from Next47 was incredibly moving, highlighting not only outstanding personal resilience but also extraordinary business resilience—exactly the kind of strength early-stage investors look for in their portfolio founders. The way Ido explained how they coped after realizing Sefi was gone, and how he and the entire Firefly team grew from such a profound moment of grief, speaks volumes about the essence of the Israeli tech industry. R.I.P Sefi Genis. Am Israel Chai. Way to go Firefly team! Link to the interview - https://lnkd.in/ec2ZgWvC
