Interview: Broadwing and the iGaming Industry
‘Servicing Malta’s dynamic iGaming industry’ offers an insight as to how iGaming is perceived by other industries, how it can evolve, and what services these companies are offering the local and international gaming industry.
Our Recruitment Team & Management had this to say
From your perspective how has the iGaming industry developed in recent years and what have been the highlights?
The iGaming industry in Malta has gone from strength to strength over recent years thanks to the hard work of the MGA and industry leaders who are continually building upon the existing framework through changes in licenses and facilities to aid iGaming companies. This has had a positive impact on the local economy through an increase in employment while attracting foreigners to Malta who in turn feed the economy through more property rentals and better spending power. The exposure for Malta as a whole has been phenomenal thanks to the likes of Gaming Malta, SiGMA and other events hosted by individual companies, with GiG having recently brought Steve Wozniak to Malta for the first time. More importantly for us as a recruitment agency, the industry has raised the bar locally in terms of a better working environment and more employee benefits, albeit being at the detriment of other industries who are finding it hard to compete with what the iGaming industry has to offer.
How does your company service the iGaming industry in Malta, and what is your key offering?
As a recruitment company, our main offering to the iGaming industry is that of sourcing candidates to fill their ever-growing list of available jobs including both Customer Support to Senior Management and anything in between.
We also offer consultancy to companies with the scope of improving their image for HR purposes, not only to attract the best new candidates but also motivate and give a higher level of job satisfaction to their existing workforce.
How do you see the iGaming industry and your services of it developing in the year/s to come?
The iGaming industry is continuing to grow on an international level with 2018 seeing the biggest ICE conference yet with an increase of 11% since last year while SiGMA held last November was also an astounding success for the local market. Having attended both these events, we noticed a big increase in Fantasy Sports, Social Gaming, and the adoption of Blockchain technology which may cause quite a disruption in the industry.
We look forward to working closely with the iGaming sector, keeping up to date with the latest developments and ensuring that we are able to offer solid advice to those looking to start a new career in iGaming both locally and abroad.
