New mentorship program helps women who immigrated during the war join Israel’s tech industry

Participants in WiseStamp’s newly launched Chotemet program are women who made Aliyah over the past two years from the US, Western Europe, South America, Russia, and Australia

WiseStamp has introduced a mentorship program designed to support women who immigrated to Israel during the war as they build meaningful careers in the tech sector. The inaugural cohort of Chotemet (“Signature”) brings together Olot Chadashot from around the world and provides group sessions with practical tools for entering the Israeli job market. These sessions cover topics such as gaining familiarity with the Israeli tech eco-system, interview preparation and self-presentation, legal rights, and Israeli business culture.
Each participant is paired with a dedicated mentor from within WiseStamp’s employees and leadership, matched to her professional background, including areas such as management, customer support, marketing, sales, R&D, and finance. Mentors offer ongoing, personalized guidance, and some have even immigrated to Israel themselves, giving them firsthand understanding of the challenges new arrivals face when entering the local workforce.

“We launched the Chotemet program as a way to leverage the skills and experience of our employees and leaders to bring value to the community,” says Ehud Yalin-Mor, CEO of WiseStamp. “We chose to support women who immigrated during this difficult period and give them stronger opportunities to build careers in tech. Olim bring native-level language skills and deep cultural understanding of their countries of origin, which are tremendous assets for Israeli companies expanding into those regions. As a company where 20 percent of our Israeli site are new immigrants, we see these benefits every day.”
Atar Lev-Ari Shalom, CFO at WiseStamp, one of the program’s initiators and a mentor, herself, adds: “The rise in global antisemitism is contributing to a significant increase in immigration to Israel. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support Olot Chadashot, and we hope that other leaders will join us in this initiative in whatever way they can. We plan to open additional cohorts, and organizations that wish to participate as mentors or hire program graduates, and strengthen female representation within their teams, are invited to reach out.”
