Why Global Desk?
Finding and trusting a remote employee with the secrets of your trade is daunting. You worry:
We looked around us here in Israel and saw a wealth of untapped talent, unfortunately not being put to use.
The partners noticed a common problem. Many of their friends and acquaintances who had undergone extensive education in first-class institutions around the world, were not finding their place in the Israeli market. Their native English and American training seemed much better suited to businesses in their home countries. Which was when Jakubowic and Katz had an idea.
Why not bring this talent back to the
US, Canada and the UK?
They established GlobalDesk in 2020, a boutique agency that services businesses worldwide with American talent for Israeli rates.
“We see outsourcing and remote staffing as the solution for American businesses that can simultaneously help hardworking men and women in Israel support their families. And we’re proud of that!”
