Built From the Inside.
Pushcart Israel was founded by someone who lived the move, and saw the opportunity on the other side.
In 2024, Abie made aliyah with his family from New York. He lived the transition firsthand, the paperwork, the language, the culture shock, and the very real challenge of building a career on the other side of the move.
What he discovered changed his thinking. Israel has a deep, undertapped pool of American professionals, people who brought their US degrees, their English, and their work ethic with them, and who are actively looking to stay connected to American business.
Meanwhile, US companies are paying premium domestic salaries for roles they could fill remotely, with talent that's culturally identical to what they'd hire at home.
Abie founded Pushcart Israel to close that gap. With a background in business and operations, he built a recruiting firm around one straightforward idea: American companies deserve access to great talent, and Americans in Israel deserve great careers.
Abie Levy
Founder, Pushcart Israel
The Pushcart Wasn't Glamorous. That Was the Point.
"Grit. Tenacity. Hard work."
In the early 1900s, the Lower East Side of New York was alive with pushcart peddlers, immigrants who arrived with nothing and built something through sheer work ethic and relentless hustle. No offices. No investors. Just a cart, a product, and the drive to show up every single day.
That spirit is the foundation of this firm. We named it Pushcart because we believe the best placements don't come from algorithms or automation, they come from real relationships, honest conversations, and the kind of tenacity that doesn't quit after the first no.
When we take on a search, we work it like there's a family depending on it. Because there usually is.
What We Believe
People First
We don't move resumes. We represent people. Every candidate we place is someone we'd vouch for personally.
Straight Talk
We tell clients what we have, not what they want to hear. If we can't fill a role well, we say so.
Long-Term Thinking
A placement that fails in 90 days isn't a win. We measure success by what happens after the hire.
