The main goal of the bilateral agreement between Ukraine and Israel is to ensure a legal and fair employment process for Ukrainian citizens arriving for temporary work in Israel and to prevent illegal fees from being charged to Ukrainian candidates.

According to the conditions of the Implementation Protocol A (construction sector) in Ukraine, the Authority of Population and Immigration under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the State of Israel, in coordination with the State Employment Center of Ukraine, has designated the NGO “Great Idea” as the sole organization in Ukraine. It serves as an authorized legal entity that provides logistical support for events related to the temporary employment of Ukrainian professionals in the construction sector of Israel. The employment of Ukrainian professionals takes place at the intergovernmental level, with a prohibition on any intermediary services from private employment agencies, a ban on any commission fees for participation in the selection process, and guarantees of employment
