In the context of the rapidly expanding iGaming industry, where competition has reached unprecedented levels, building a strong and professional team is not just an important task; it is a key factor for success. This is particularly evident in dynamic and specialized markets such as Latin America. Anastasia Atash, a leading expert at Talentgrator, a recruitment agency specializing in the iGaming industry, shared with Slotegrator valuable insights on how to find and attract the best talent.
Recruitment in the iGaming industry
Recruitment in the iGaming industry is a specialized field. As Anastasia points out, the sector is characterized by a high level of confidentiality, where details of projects and even the name of the hiring company often cannot be disclosed until the final stages of negotiations.
Additionally, narrow specialization — whether in slots, crash games or poker — requires recruiters to have a deep understanding of each vertical and its specific requirements.
Therefore, collaboration with specialized agencies stands out as an effective path. After all, these agencies have knowledge and a detailed understanding of the market.
Furthermore, this type of partnership is often the ideal solution for companies that want to save time and resources. This way, it is possible to quickly fill even the most complex vacancies.
Attention turned to Latin America
Attention is currently turning to Latin America, a region that is experiencing a real iGaming boom. It is a sizeable market, with over 650 million people, growing internet penetration and a strong tradition in sports and betting.
However, according to Anastasia Atash, to successfully hire locally, it’s not enough to see the potential – it’s essential to understand the local rules of the game. Localization is a key trend in the business world. Companies are increasingly looking to hire local teams, who have a deeper understanding of the cultural context.
It is also important to note that candidates in Latin America tend to be more sociable and open to new opportunities. The decision to change jobs may involve discussions with family members. In addition to traditional communication channels such as LinkedIn, it is common to use more informal methods such as Telegram, WhatsApp and face-to-face meetings in relaxed environments.
“Latin America is in a privileged position. Simply put, LatAm today is like Europe 10 years ago. And although the fierce competition for talent has not yet begun, we see it on the way. A developing market is always a great platform to work from,” says Anastasia Atash.
Therefore, a strategic approach to hiring that takes into account the unique characteristics of the iGaming industry and the cultural nuances of specific regions is essential to building a team that can lead a business to success. These insights offer valuable insight into the importance of thoughtful and professional talent acquisition strategies.
