Press release.- SOFTSWISS<\/a>, in partnership with Pentasia<\/strong>, a leading igaming recruitment consultancy, hosts an exclusive presentation of the 2026 iGaming Talent Trends<\/a> report on March 17 in Malta. The event will bring together HR, marketing, and executive leaders to discuss the evolving realities of the igaming workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The presentation will mark the first public unveiling of the 2026 iGaming Talent Trends <\/strong>report findings, giving attendees direct access to data on shifting workforce patterns and evolving leadership expectations across regulated markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The study stands as the most comprehensive data-backed analysis of the igaming talent market released to date, combining survey responses from over 90 B2B and B2C industry leaders<\/strong> with proprietary operational and recruitment intelligence from SOFTSWISS and Pentasia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The urgency of the discussion is reflected in the current market environment. In 2026, operators are navigating tighter talent supply in specialised tech and compliance roles, increasing salary transparency, and longer hiring cycles for senior candidates. These pressures are interconnected forces reshaping how companies design roles and structure teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Malta presentation will examine the most significant workforce shifts observed in 2025 and outline the trends expected to shape 2026. <\/strong>The speakers will also address the growing reduction in junior-level hiring because of AI and its potential long-term impact, including the future mid-level talent pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The presentation will feature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Natalia Perkowska<\/strong>, deputy chief HR officer at SOFTSWISS, comments: \u201cWe launched the 2026 iGaming Talent Trends report to bring clarity to workforce decisions that increasingly affect operational continuity. In 2026, clarity reduces friction, speed secures momentum, and credibility determines whether top professionals choose to engage. Companies that align their internal structure with evolving market expectations will gain a measurable advantage\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alastair Cleland<\/strong>, Managing Director at Pentasia, has stressed another crucial point: \u201cHeightened regulatory activity across Europe is encouraging disciplined, selective hiring. Operators are managing greater complexity around AML, advertising, and licence management, and in several markets enforcement has tightened or licences and timelines have been in focus, which supports more cautious headcount decisions and a preference for experienced hires\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Registration for the event is now open via this link: https:\/\/softswiss.typeform.com\/TalentTrends?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=Media&utm_campaign=TalentT+Launch<\/p>\n\n\n\n The number of places is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The discussion of the report\u2019s insights in Malta will be followed by an online-event: LinkedIn Live Panel by SOFTSWISS in partnership with Pentasia. Titled Stop Losing Talent: 7 Smart Steps for Hiring in 2026, <\/strong>the panel will take place on 20 March at 13:00 CEST as the first session of the publicly available SOFTSWISS LinkedIn Live Panel Series.
