What is the major challenge that the iGaming industry is facing now? Is it the growing demands of customers or, perhaps, constantly changing regulations? Over 75% of iGaming companies claim that talent acquisition is actually its main concern.
In a recent interview, Marina Ilina PIN-UP GLOBAL notes that as the CEO, she views hiring and retaining talents and building the strongest team as the key factors contributing to the holding’s success. She shared some more insights on how PIN-UP, as a big player, creates its dream team, so read on to find out more.
Team or Professionals or a Family: The Approach of PIN-UP
The competition in the iGaming industry is fierce, and you can’t withstand it without building a team of motivated and intelligent professionals united by a single goal. Marina Ilina notes that at PIN-UP, they aren’t trying to create a family or use this concept as the motivation force.
We aren’t a family, she says. We are the pros, and our team members get support from inside and outside the holding. Strong motivation, equal rewards, and improving competence allow us to achieve success daily.
Considering how dynamic and volatile this market is, the PIN-UP team's goal is to dream bigger and achieve higher results day by day. Yesterday’s outcome just won’t be enough tomorrow.
Still, Ilina notes that being rational and preserving the right amount of ambition is also crucial. That leads to both financial and emotional fulfillment, as everyone is here to meet common goals and take full responsibility for the decisions being made.
New People, New Approaches, New Knowledge: PIN-UP’s Key to Success
Undoubtedly, the iGaming industry needs new knowledge and technologies, as well as inspired, highly motivated people, to take it to new heights. According to Marina Ilina, PIN-UP needs to search for talents not only inside the industry but also outside it. The more new people think this business is promising, the more skilled professionals will contribute to the industry’s sustainability. This can be achieved by improving the transparency for banks and regulators and gaining more operators interested in proper licensing and certification.
The holding has its values, and as Marina Ilina notes, PIN-UP GLOBAL is seeking professionals who’ll share them all. Only in this case can a positive work environment be created, and that’s the only way to achieve common goals faster than anyone else. Every team member is ready to work to maintain leading positions in the market, be partners in a team, and be oriented on results. Honesty in communication is crucial, too. The team will succeed only when everything is transparent and everyone is open to discussion.
Addressing the Importance of Soft Skills
Of course, relationships with clients and partners matter. They must be strong, personable, and mutually respectful. However, these core principles lie in the foundation of the iGaming industry itself. Ultimately, they contribute greatly to high customer retention and building a strong reputation.
Regarding talent acquisition, Marina Ilina and PIN-UP at large, prioritize persistence, reliability, and a good sense of humor. These are the most important soft skills for the team. These may not be the only ingredients for the end result and overall success, but they are still the important characteristics that drive ambition.
The holding has multiple training programs that help the employees grow both personally and professionally, and most importantly, that growth is not limited. PIN-UP always supports everyone who strives for greater success, and this policy allows it to get the most effective managers.
Growth for Managers & PIN-UP at Large
Successful managers, in turn, upskill their teams and contribute to their constant growth and development. That’s the key to overall success in the industry. Marina Ilina emphasizes that the main point of the PIN-UP ideology and mission is to achieve serious goals, which would be impossible without strong leaders.
New technology, particularly machine learning, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality, is now the main focus of the entire industry, and the more skilled pros join, the better for the business.
According to Ilina, PIN-UP GLOBAL always seeks talented people who want to be the best in their sphere and are motivated to achieve results while working shoulder-to-shoulder with other team members to meet that common end goal.
