evolves globally and C-level and strategic leadership roles become increasingly valued .
Another sign of a maturing industry is demand from candidates for generous benefit packages and equity . In the US the total package , not just salary , is a big factor in securing talent and not only for C-level positions . As competition for candidates continues to increase and the igaming industry looks to attract candidates from other sectors too , it ’ s becoming a global trend .
To successfully hire in the current landscape , igaming companies need to think seriously about giving candidates – and existing employees – what they want . Whether that ’ s salaries and benefits packages , including flexible work options , or investing in retention and development of in-house talent , these factors will ultimately give employers a competitive edge .
It ’ s a challenge , but one we feel the igaming industry is in good shape to take on .
