Why this works
Hiring freelancers, without the headache
If you work with freelancers in Israel, you already know the friction: collecting an invoice from every person, payments scattered across the month, and the nagging question of whether a long-term contractor could later be ruled an employee. The most effective way to hire freelancers solves all three at once · you select your people, NETO employs them and pays them as proper workers, and you get a single clean invoice. No local entity, no chasing paperwork, no gray-area risk.
- One consolidated invoice instead of many · simpler bookkeeping.
- NETO is the legal employer · contract, payslip and statutory contributions.
- No contractor-versus-employee classification exposure.
One invoice
Zero risk
The hidden friction
Paying freelancers directly is more expensive than it looks
The fee you agree on is rarely the full story. The real cost is in the admin around it · and in the legal risk it quietly builds up.
- Chasing a separate invoice from every freelancer, every month.
- Tracking dozens of small payments and due dates by hand.
- Misclassification risk: a dependent, long-term contractor can be retroactively ruled your employee · with back pay for benefits.
- Freelancers without a tax file you simply can't pay cleanly.

FAQ
Questions employers ask
What is the most effective way to hire freelancers in Israel?
Engage them through NETO. You choose the freelancer, NETO employs them and handles the contract, payslip and statutory contributions, and you receive one consolidated invoice instead of chasing many individual ones. It removes the bureaucracy and the classification risk in a single step.
Can I pay a freelancer who hasn't opened a tax file?
Yes · this is one of the most common cases. You pay through NETO, we issue you a proper invoice, receive the payment and issue the worker a payslip. The freelancer is registered as employed with NETO, so there's no employer-employee relationship on your side.
What is contractor misclassification risk, and how does NETO remove it?
When a long-term or dependent freelancer is treated as an independent contractor, Israeli labor law can retroactively classify them as your employee · exposing you to back pay for social benefits and penalties. When the freelancer is employed by NETO, they're a properly employed worker with full statutory rights, so the relationship is compliant from day one.
How does the single consolidated invoice work?
Instead of collecting a separate invoice from every freelancer, you approve their hours or fee in NETO and receive one clean invoice from NETO covering all of them. Your bookkeeping goes from many documents to one.
Is NETO a licensed and supervised provider?
Yes. NETO operates under manpower contractor license 1565 and Ministry of Labor supervision, and is operated by Bareket IT Ltd. (company registration 515486058).
Can foreign companies use NETO to pay freelancers in Israel?
Yes. Foreign companies engage freelancers in Israel through NETO without opening a local entity. NETO acts as the Employer of Record, handling compliant employment, payroll and a single invoice.
Do I still choose my own freelancers?
Always. You source and select whoever you want to work with. NETO only handles the employment, payment and compliance layer behind them · so there's no recruitment commission.
Can I work with freelancers on a project or one-off basis?
Yes. NETO supports one-off, occasional, project-based and ongoing engagements. You pay only for the work actually delivered or the hours actually worked.
