iGaming jobs in Sweden - Why many UK professionals are making the move into Europe
Within the IT iGaming sector, International vacancy levels have
seen a significant increase, with roles ranging from graduate entry
level positions to Senior IT Management. For this article I have
decided to focus on the Swedish Gaming Sector which offers
excellent career opportunities for IT professionals from all walks
of life.
Swedish iGaming specialists including Unibet, Betsson, Net Ent,
Entraction, Redbet and Cherryforetagen have demonstrated
significant growth, outperforming the Swedish stock market’s
advance which has been halted by the economic downturn. While the
general market has experienced flat growth, the Gaming sector has
advanced some 15%, and despite the strong performance last year
many professionals believe there is still plenty more to look
forward to in 2012.
As a backdrop to working in Sweden, a country with the world’s
lowest levels of poverty and one that consistently appears near the
top of the Human Development Index (ranked according to life
expectancy, education and standard of living) I have compiled the
following information:
Area: 174,000 sq mi (450,000 km²), the third largest country in
Western Europe
Capital: Stockholm
Population: 9.4 million inhabitants
Languages: Swedish. Recognized minority languages: Sami (Lapp),
Finnish, Menkieli (Tornedalen Finnish), Yiddish, Romani Chib,
English
Religion: In practice, Sweden is very secularized. The Church of
Sweden is Evangelical
Life expectancy: Men 79 years, women 83 years
Therefore, if 2012 is the year for you to explore new
challenges, now would be a great time to contact myself (or one of
my colleagues on the ARM iGaming recruitment
team) and discuss the exciting opportunities my clients are
currently offering in Sweden and across the European continent.
