SALARIES BY FUNCTION AND ROLE
SALES AND ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
Hiring activity for sales and account managers continues to be buoyant after a tough period during the pandemic . Hiring good-quality candidates has been challenging this year . High demand , particularly at the mid-level , has led to increased salaries . Demand for sales professionals is high across Europe as well as in the LatAm region . The candidate-driven market is prioritising hybrid and remote models , though we have noticed companies increasingly trying to entice people back to the office . Since the pandemic there has been more flexibility around location , but companies stipulating that candidates are based in one of the major gaming hubs is becoming more common . Karl Harenburg

TECHNOLOGY
The talent shortage in igaming is at its most severe in the tech sphere , a trend that continues from previous years . Skilled candidates have their pick of a vast array of job options . Demand is highest for mid and senior-level roles , with igaming industry experience a must at senior levels . Even those with as little as a year ’ s experience , though , can demand £ 20k raises in today ’ s market .
The most successful employers are those that adopt a 100 % remote model ( perhaps with face-to-face every few months ), allowing them to meet a key demand while vastly expanding their geographic talent pool . Salaries across Europe are continuing to standardise as remote work levels the playing field ; there are no longer ‘ cheap ’ talent pools – just one price for skills and experience . US companies , however , find European talent just as good but half the price ; their hiring activity is certainly inflating European market rates . Employers in general need a highly attractive offer to appeal to candidates . The interview process has drastically changed due to the market , with five-round interviews a thing of the past and three the new maximum . Hiring decisions , too , have to be made quickly .
