Beyond your talent for the job, can you tell us another skill you have?
That’s a tough one! I enjoy many different things, but I wouldn’t necessarily call them talents.

What’s your name, and how’s your path so far?
My name is Leti, originally from Madrid, though I’ve spent the last years exploring the world. What was meant to be a 9-month stay in Vienna turned into 5 unforgettable years, where I built amazing friendships, discovered incredible career opportunities, and took my first steps into the gaming industry.
With a multifaceted background in Marketing, Advertising, and HR Management, I deeply value communication, human connections, cultural diversity, and continuous learning.
Life later brought me to Gibraltar, where I grew both personally and professionally, gaining expertise in HR and solidifying my place in the gaming world, a fast-paced, exciting, and ever-evolving industry that never gets boring.
For the past year, I’ve been part of GiG, back in Spain, where I continue to learn every day, connect with inspiring people, and experience the industry from a fresh perspective in a truly multicultural environment.

How would you describe your role?
At GiG, I work as a Senior Recruiter. While my core expertise lies in Marketing Analytics, I also recruit highly technical IT profiles constantly evolving roles that represent the future of the industry. I truly enjoy interviewing talented professionals, learning from each conversation, and connecting people with the right opportunities.
Beyond recruitment, I contribute to initiatives around employee engagement and retention, which I believe are just as crucial for a company’s success. I collaborate closely with managers across different locations worldwide, focusing on building strong relationships as the foundation for attracting and retaining talent.
My role also includes organising internal events and team-building activities to strengthen workplace culture, as well as conducting market research on salaries and industry trends. In short, I see myself as a collaborative professional whose mission is to attract, retain, and enhance internal talent while helping create a positive and dynamic environment.

What’s the culture like at GiG? – In your opinion, what makes GiG a great place to work?
It’s a culture where every employee has a voice. There are frequent satisfaction surveys, and colleagues’ ideas and proposals are genuinely listened to. I also find the leadership team very approachable. They come to the office, sit down with everyone, chat, and show real interest in people’s well-being. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, without emphasising seniority differences, which is highly valued and helps create a comfortable and supportive work environment.

How does the TA team support candidates during the hiring process?
The TA team at GiG is made up of five people from different countries, which makes us a truly diverse group. We bring different perspectives, cultural backgrounds, and ways of looking at both work and life, something that is incredibly enriching and helps us continuously learn from one another. Empathy, openness, and understanding are at the core of how we collaborate, which is something we value deeply.
Each of us specialises in a specific area, whether operational, marketing, or technical, giving the team a strong, well-rounded understanding of roles across the industry. This allows us to assess the competitiveness of the market and align candidates’ expectations with the fast-moving world of gaming.
When working with candidates, we don’t just focus on technical skills and professional background; we also consider personal context, motivations, and cultural fit. Our goal is to ensure not only that someone can perform well in their role but also that they’ll feel supported, connected, and engaged with their team and manager. For us, creating that balance between professional capability and personal well-being is key to building long-term success and satisfaction.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone applying here?
Be ready for a fun, dynamic, and fast-paced environment with high volumes of work and always striving for more. The focus is on growth, expanding our client base, and delivering the best service to remain leaders in the industry. It can be demanding, but at the same time, incredibly rewarding, as you see your contribution to success and the recognition that comes with it.
Get prepared to work with people from different countries, cultures, and perspectives. Open your mind, embrace challenges, and enjoy the journey!

My name is Abigail McDonnell, and I am a Talent Acquisition Partner for GiG! I was an iGaming newbie when I joined GiG in December 2023, before that I have worked as TA in retail/fashion software start-ups. Originally from Dublin, Ireland - I attended Dublin City University to complete a 4-year degree in International Business, focusing on HR and Spanish. I now live in the very sunny Valencia, Spain, where I have been for the past 4 years.

How would you describe your role?

My role is very dynamic, which is why I like it. Every day is different! I act as the connection between the candidates and hiring managers, ensuring the first impression candidates have of GiG is a positive one, even if they don’t end up joining us. 

I applied to GiG as I had never had any exposure to the iGaming industry before, and once I started researching it, I was blown away by how big it is! I also read some great testimonials on Glassdoor that really encouraged me to apply.

I think the biggest thing for me is the trust GiG has in their people. My boss allows me to manage my own projects and roles, appreciates my feedback and ideas, and always encourages me to take ownership of what I am involved in.

I find the culture at GiG to be very collaborative. No one team is separate and has no interaction with others, I find teams are very willing and happy to work together which can be a rare thing in some places. Everyone is dedicated to constant improvement and finding the best way to all work together in synergy.

It excites me to see not only the growth of GiG but the growth of the industry as well. It shows me that I made the right decision to join GiG when I did. I feel it’s a good investment for my future to be involved with such an exciting company and industry.

We lead the candidate through the hiring process from the very beginning. Our job is to make sure the candidate is comfortable and feels safe enough to truly show off their skills and experience from the first call! We want every candidate to succeed, so we try to create an environment and process that allows them to do exactly that.

I would recommend doing your research on the industry and GiG if you are interested in applying for one of our roles. Not only is it interesting, but it also allows you to show a great level of preparation in your interviews! Showing how you are ready to join this world

Outside of work, I attend multiple dance and musical theatre classes, a big passion of mine! A great way to completely switch off and recharge.
