Types of Workers Israeli Companies Want from Global Sources
From nationwide practical trade screening and candidate testing to Population and Immigration Authority (piba.gov.il) quota permits, B-1 Work Visas, High-Tech Expert Visas, and NSDC International (nsdcindia.org) G2G protocol mobilization — Triloknath Immigration Services supplies pre-screened, job-ready global candidates tailored to Israeli enterprises across all expanding industrial sectors.
Types of Workers Israeli Companies Want from Global Sources
Israel is undergoing one of the most dramatic, permanent structural labour market transformations in its history. Following the events of October 7, 2023, Palestinian worker permits dropped sharply from 150,000 (92,000 legal) to just 20,000 currently.
To permanently close this industrial deficit, the Israeli government has expanded its legal foreign workforce to a record 250,000 foreign workers, targeting 330,000 (3.3% of the total national population). In 2025 alone, 60,722 new foreign workers entered Israel. The current foreign workforce of 227,044 is distributed across critical pillars: Elderly & Home Care (80,884), Construction (73,432), Agriculture (48,908), Industry (5,338), Trade & Services (5,024), Specialists & Chefs (6,279), Hotels (2,824), and Restaurants (1,006).
India is now the #2 largest source of foreign workers in Israel, accounting for 21.7% of the total foreign workforce (behind Thailand at 26.5% and ahead of China at 11.8% and Sri Lanka at 11.2%). Under the landmark Bilateral Framework Agreement signed in May 2023, Triloknath Immigration Services deploys verified candidates across both Government-to-Government (G2G / NSDC) and private B2B recruitment corridors.
