Israeli growth, performance and content marketers are within reach even if your company has no legal presence in Israel. NETO becomes their official employer under Israeli manpower-contractor licence 1565: they receive a compliant Israeli payslip with full statutory benefits, and you receive one invoice.
Israel’s technology sector has produced a deep pool of marketers who grew up inside product-led, export-oriented companies. They tend to work in English by default, are used to addressing North American and European audiences, and are comfortable owning a channel end to end rather than a narrow slice of it.
For a company outside Israel, the appeal is usually one of three things: a specialist you cannot find locally, coverage across a useful time zone between Asia and the Americas, or a senior marketer at a stage when a full local subsidiary cannot be justified. The obstacle is rarely the talent · it is the employment mechanics.
Israeli employment law is protective and highly codified. A foreign company that wants to put an Israeli marketer on payroll normally has to register a local entity, open files with the Tax Authority and the National Insurance Institute, run Israeli payroll, and comply with mandatory pension and severance rules. For one or two hires, that is disproportionate.
The common workaround · paying them as an independent contractor · carries a specific risk. Israeli labour courts look at the substance of the relationship, not its label. Where a “contractor” works regular hours, is integrated into your team and depends on you economically, the relationship can be re-characterised as employment, with retroactive exposure for social benefits.
You run your own selection and agree the scope, the monthly cost and the start date. NETO does not choose for you, and you are not tied to a candidate pool.
We issue an Israeli employment contract, register the worker, and run monthly payroll · income tax, National Insurance, pension and severance accrual, reported to the authorities.
You receive a single monthly invoice covering salary and employer costs. No Israeli entity, no local payroll system, no direct filings.
Day to day, the marketer works with your team exactly as any other team member would. What changes is the legal and administrative layer underneath: NETO is the employer of record, so the statutory obligations sit with a licensed Israeli contractor rather than with you.
| Open an Israeli entity | Engage as a contractor | Employ through NETO | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup time | Weeks to months | Immediate | Days |
| Local entity required | Yes | No | No |
| Who runs payroll | You | Nobody · they invoice you | NETO |
| Worker’s status | Employee | Self-employed | Employee, with full statutory benefits |
| Misclassification exposure | Low | Sits with you | Removed · the worker is an employee |
| Your admin per month | Full local payroll cycle | Approve an invoice | Approve one invoice |
| Sensible when | You are building a real Israeli site | Genuinely short, project-based work | You want people in Israel without a subsidiary |
None of these is universally right. If you are opening a development centre and hiring a dozen people, a local entity is the correct answer. If the work is a genuinely one-off project of a few days, a contractor invoice is appropriate. The employer-of-record route fits the space in between · real, ongoing work, without the weight of a subsidiary.

The same mechanism applies to full-time, part-time and ongoing part-scope engagements. What matters is that the work is real and continuing · that is precisely the case where employee status protects both sides.
NETO operates through Bareket IT Ltd, an Israeli company registered under number 515486058, holding manpower-contractor licence 1565 issued by the Ministry of Labour, with guarantees deposited against workers’ wages. The licence is what makes employee status real rather than nominal: a licensed manpower contractor may lawfully employ a worker and place them with a client.
You do not have to take that on trust. The licence appears in Israel’s public registry of manpower contractors, and you can verify it independently before signing anything · see the licence page or the official register on gov.il.

A two-minute walkthrough · from signup to a legal payslip.
No. NETO employs the worker in Israel on your behalf under manpower-contractor licence 1565, so you can hire without registering a local entity, opening tax files or running Israeli payroll.
Legally the worker is employed by NETO, which handles the contract, payroll and statutory obligations in Israel. Professionally they work with your team, on your priorities, exactly as any other team member.
An Israeli payslip with full statutory entitlements: National Insurance, health insurance, pension contributions, severance accrual, and paid leave and holidays under Israeli law.
NETO’s fee is 5% of the invoice amount (before VAT), paid by the client. The worker never pays the fee. There are no setup, subscription or exit fees.
Once you have chosen the person and agreed the terms, onboarding is a matter of days rather than the weeks or months a local entity would take.
Yes. The arrangement suits full-time, part-time and continuing part-scope engagements. It is specifically designed for ongoing work, which is exactly where contractor status tends to be challenged.
Licence 1565 is listed in the Ministry of Labour’s public registry of manpower contractors on gov.il. You can look it up independently before engaging.
Israel has marketers worth hiring, and the barrier is administrative rather than practical. Opening a local entity is disproportionate for one or two people; engaging them as contractors leaves misclassification risk with you. Employing through a licensed Israeli manpower contractor resolves both: the marketer receives full employee rights under Israeli law, and you receive a single monthly invoice with no local infrastructure to build.
NETO has operated this way since 2016 under licence 1565, with guarantees deposited at the Ministry of Labour · and the licence can be verified in the public register before you commit to anything.
