How to find the right professionals to work on your betting site?

The HR area of the gaming sector in Brazil is still taking the first steps to implement hiring policies appropriate to an activity that is still in its infancy in the country. Natalia Nogues, CEO of Control F5, analyzes in an article for GMB how this work can be done and how to look for professionals prepared for the different functions that the sector needs.

Finding the best professionals to work on your betting site is a fundamental step towards the success of any company in the sector. The demands of the betting industry are quite specific, therefore, the more specialized the professional, the more positive the result will be.

However, the most complicated part is: What qualifications to look for, when is the right time to look and where to recruit the right professionals for your operation? That's exactly what we're going to talk about today.

Before looking for professionals, understand what you need

Identify your needs, clearly define the roles you want to fill and when each resource will be needed. At the beginning, for example, you may need software developers, or decide to hire a pre-made platform.

Then there is demand for digital marketing professionals, risk managers, customer service, compliance and regulatory experts, and more.

But, take it easy. Having planning and a clear understanding of your needs will help direct your search.

Do networking and recruitment go together?

Of course, if you have a network of contacts in the betting industry, this can help identify potential candidates. However, the recruitment process is not so simple.

Therefore, having professionals specialized in selection in the gaming industry is essential. The gaming and betting market is still quite new in Brazil, so finding candidates familiar with the area is not easy, but it will make a big difference to your operation.

For strategic positions such as professionals specializing in risk and compliance, it is essential to have the collaboration of someone with proven experience in the gaming industry, who understands the complexities of regulations and security best practices.

Correctly assess candidates’ technical skills

In the world of online betting, technology plays a fundamental role. Therefore, if you need software developers and IT specialists, they must have the necessary skills to create and maintain your secure and high-performing betting website.

It is essential to ensure the security of your company's financial resources and that of your customers. After all, this is a very important factor in differentiating your betting site from your competitors.

Assess professional commitment carefully

Finding people who are passionate about the betting sector and committed to the success of your site can be a differentiating factor. Although we still don't have many candidates familiar with the world of gaming here, those who are generally love the sector! This is, without a doubt, an important difference.

Develop a strong company culture

In addition to hiring the right people, it's important to create a company culture that promotes innovation, collaboration and respect. This will go a long way in attracting and retaining quality talent.

Remember that finding the right professionals for your betting site is an ongoing process. As your business grows and demands change, your staffing needs may evolve as well. Do you need help with this matter? So, contact me!
