FAQ FOR HOST COMPANIES
WHAT IS THE COST?
PIP is all about Low Risk, High Reward. We try to keep costs low, so that you can truly get to know the program at your own pace. For the first 3 months, expected salary is local minimum wage (5,300 NIS). If hiring a West Bank candidate, an ~18% fee goes towards the third party - they handle all the major administrative tasks related to paying and processing salaries in the West Bank.
HOW DO CANDIDATES COME TO ISRAEL?
PIP Finalists from the West Bank must have a permit to enter Israel. All PIP Candidates have special permits, calling "Professional Development High-Tech Security permits", through the Civil Administration of COGAT. This is not a work permit; rather, it allows for the completion of a paid opportunity inside Israel. Get in touch to learn more.
WHAT TYPES OF CANDIDATES DO YOU HAVE?
