Career convention to be part of Malta GW

SiGMA will offer recruitment activities for professionals in the iGaming sector.

Malta.- During the Malta Gaming Week, regional companies will set up their own department for head hunting and recruitment, making sure that the best talent fills each and every vacancy available. In November 17, between 2pm and 6pm the doors will open for talented graduates and IT developers, strictly by invite, for a careers convention at SiGMA, Summit of iGaming Malta. The event confirmed the presence of 100 speakers, 150 sponsors/exhibitors and 3,000 quality attendees.

Graduates from the University of Malta, MCAST and various private institutes will be targeted and personally invited to this career convention. Eman Pulis, managing director of SiGMA, stated: “Anyone who has been to any expo can attest that numbers tend to dwindle down a bit towards the end. So the timing seemed right for a careers convention to help meet the increasing demand for talent.”

And he added: “We’ve quite literally embarked on a three month head-hunting mission for all, not only in Malta but also in Scandinavia, where request for Scandinavian talent is on the increase. Who knows? They might likely meet their best employer to date!”

SiGMA’s ultimate goal is to bring the entire gaming community together, from affiliates and operators to regulators and vendors. However, this year, it also wants to serve the purpose of recruitment in Malta. In the words of SiGMA’s Dennis Dhyr Hansen: “It is well-known that recruitment remains one of the trickiest aspects, often leaving developers in short supply and an increasing number of graduates looking to form part of the gaming industry. This is where SiGMA can provide an excellent platform on Maltese shores.”

When asked about the partnership with SiGMA, managing partner at Event Planner James Cassar said: “I’ve worked on various events with Eman for a long time and this partnership should pave the way for some great opportunities for graduates who are seeking a career in igaming. Through this event we want to create a bridge between students and the betting company world where great employment opportunities exist.”

Those attending will be entitled to shop around the expo floor as well as attend a conference on Human Capital and Performance. Networking drinks and the closing party will also be accessible to the Careers Convention attendees. The organisers are signing the brightest, most experienced speakers from within and outside the industry, including TED speakers, covering a range of themes and paving the way for some animated panel discussions.
