Women in Israeli Tech 2023 : Less Women, Less Salary, More to be Done

Women in tech - however great we are it's still not good enough as the gender gap persists.

This Jerusalem Post article by Maayan Jaffe Hoffman has the statistics, views and voices to present a full picture. One of the important reports referred to ,produced by RISE Israel, shows that the moderate increase in the share of women in tech over the past decade has come to a complete halt in the past year.

The report also reflected that the percentage of women in senior-level hi-tech positions remains low: Women make up less than a quarter (22%) of vice presidents and higher positions, only 16% of C-level positions, and 13% of CEOs.

The article also refers to another report fresh off the press by GotFriends – a hi-tech recruitment company. They found that men who got jobs through the network earn an average of NIS 2,000 more than women. This is regardless of their role. The article quotes GotFriends CEO Shiri Vex as saying ,“One of the reasons for these gaps is that women in the Israeli hi-tech industry request a lower salary on average by 8%-10% compared to men."

The article quotes DEVA Yael Eckstein Vice president of marketing for StageOne ventures who says "“Behind every successful woman is the woman herself,”.
