דוח חדש של מכון RISE Israel וחברת המחקר IVC, מציג ניתוח מקיף של שוק העבודה בהייטק הישראלי ומצביע על מגמות מדאיגות ● בעוד שתפקידי הליבה הטכנולוגיים שמרו על יציבות יחסית, תפקידי המעטפת כמו שיווק, מכירות ומשאבי אנוש חוו ירידות משמעותיות ● תחומי המשפט והכספים שמרו על קיפאון ● ואילו משרות נהנו דווקא מעלייה?
A new report by RISE Israel and IVC highlights concerning trends in the Israeli high-tech job market. While core tech roles remain stable, support roles like marketing and HR have seen significant declines. The report also notes a decrease in job placement rates for computer science graduates, indicating market saturation. Despite these challenges, the cybersecurity sector has grown by 9%. SentinelOne has acquired an Israeli company for $250-300 million, and Yotpo plans to lay off around 200 employees. The report emphasizes the need for updated human capital policies to address the impact of AI on core sectors. NVIDIAs announcement of a new development center employing 20,000 could potentially shift current trends if managed strategically.

"The ability to attract, develop, and retain AI talent will determine whether Israel remains at the forefront of innovation or becomes a marginal player on the global stage," writes Danny Biran, a Senior policy fellow at RISE Israel.
The article discusses the challenges Israel faces in maintaining its competitiveness in the global AI race, particularly in light of changes in U.S. policies that have traditionally attracted top AI talent. Danny Biran, a Senior policy fellow at RISE Israel, emphasizes the importance of developing and retaining AI talent to ensure Israel remains a leader in innovation. The U.S. is experiencing budget cuts, visa policy tightening, and mass layoffs, creating opportunities for other countries to attract AI talent. However, Israel has not capitalized on these opportunities, and its high negative migration rate of AI talent is concerning. The article suggests that Israel needs to implement strategies to attract and retain AI talent, such as refreshing visa programs and building partnerships between academia, government, and industry.
