The Problem

The iGaming industry is booming but fragmented. Talent is scattered across jurisdictions, companies struggle to find specialists, and candidates have no central place to explore opportunities in a regulated, complex industry.

Traditional job boards don't understand the nuances. LinkedIn doesn't capture the compliance requirements. The industry needed something purpose-built.

The Solution

HireStakes is a vertical recruitment marketplace designed specifically for iGaming. It combines job listings, talent profiles, and industry intelligence in a platform that understands the unique needs of gambling operators, game studios, and service providers.

Platform Features

  • Specialised job board for iGaming roles
  • Talent profiles with jurisdiction and compliance data
  • Company profiles and employer branding
  • Industry salary benchmarking
  • Candidate matching and recommendations
  • Recruiter tools and applicant tracking

Why It Works

Network effects. As more companies post roles and more candidates create profiles, the platform becomes increasingly valuable to everyone. The specialisation creates defensibility — generalist platforms can't replicate the industry-specific features.

Built on top of proven SEO and growth systems, HireStakes captures organic search traffic from candidates and employers actively looking for iGaming opportunities.

What's Next

Expanding the talent intelligence layer with salary data, career path mapping, and market analytics. Building tools that help companies understand hiring trends and compensation benchmarks across the industry.
