Recruitment services for employers
We work on a small number of roles at a time and present a short list of candidates already screened against the technical requirements, the business context and the team they would join, not a batch of CVs to sort through.
We recruit across four areas: iGaming and gambling, IT and computer science, customer support and operations, and executive and white-collar roles.
What we recruit for
Four practice areas, each with its own team, network and market data. Generalist hiring rarely works for niche talent pools or fast-moving sectors.
iGaming & Gambling
Game development, risk and compliance, and player operations, from studios to sportsbooks, with regulatory scrutiny built into the screening.
See detailsIT & Computer Science
Software engineers, DevOps, data scientists and cybersecurity leaders, assessed by recruiters with genuine technical fluency.
See detailsCustomer Support & Operations
Multilingual support professionals who combine empathy, clarity and resilience, from frontline agents to senior support leadership.
See detailsExecutive & White-Collar
The leadership layer and the corporate functions behind it: CFOs, COOs, heads of compliance, legal, HR and commercial roles. Run confidentially where the search requires it.
