LinkedIn has released its annual ranking of the 15 most sought-after startups in Israel for employee recruitment. A company launched just months ago secured the top spot, while Amnon Shashua ranked second. The list predominantly features companies in a single technological sector.
Among the notable entries, Cyera, which helps businesses locate and categorize sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, and database environments, was ranked sixth. Notch, developing AI agents for regulated industries and complex operational tasks, followed. Mate, in eighth place, aids security teams in investigating and responding to cyber threats, having raised over $50 million to date.
Eon, ninth, provides solutions for cloud data backup, protection, and recovery, while also making data usable for AI and analytics. Tenth-ranked Port has developed a platform for software development teams and has raised $158 million since its inception, recently reaching a valuation of $800 million. Port notably ran a prominent recruitment campaign in Tel Aviv over the summer, offering ice cream to tech employees alongside job postings.
The list also includes Encore, which analyzes customer interactions to train AI agents for sales and service; Limitless Labs, developing AI for precision manufacturing; Adaptive6, assisting companies in controlling cloud and AI expenses and having raised $44 million; Dream, operating in cybersecurity for governments and critical infrastructure; and FINQ, an AI-based fund management company developing technology for investment products, pensions, and insurance.
The ranking considers several key metrics, including growth in employee numbers, profile views, follower counts, existing employee activity, application rates for open positions, and the ability to attract employees from other companies. To qualify, companies had to be private and independent, employ at least 30 full-time staff, have been operating for a maximum of seven years, and maintain offices in Israel. Companies that laid off 10% or more of their workforce during the evaluation period were excluded.
