SOFTSWISS announced Wednesday it has surpassed the 1000-employee mark. The company has doubled its staff since the start of 2021 as a consequence of its “rapid growth and development”, which required qualified professionals to “strengthen the brand’s position as a leader in iGaming”.
The company’s growth is closely linked to several key events that took place in the past year. In 2021 SOFTSWISS expanded its geographical representation by opening new offices in Poland and Georgia. At the moment about 80% of all employees are from Belarus, but the company is actively recruiting professionals from other regions and encouraging diversity.
Belarus (Minsk) currently tops the list of countries from which the SOFTSWISS team works. It is followed in descending order by Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Georgia. SOFTSWISS employees can also be found working remotely from Austria, Bali, Brazil, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Nigeria, Portugal, Serbia and Vietnam.
The launch and promotion of new products also had a significant impact on the rapid growth of SOFTSWISS. Although the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook was launched in December 2020, active product promotion occurred throughout 2021. During this time, the Sportsbook platform team more than tripled in size. Also in 2021, SOFTSWISS unveiled the Jackpot Aggregator, a solution for organizing and managing jackpot campaigns.
Managed Services was one of the fastest growing teams across the entire SOFTSWISS brand. Over the year, they grew by 60%: from 90 people in January to 150+ in December. These changes have had a positive impact on the quality of work, which is confirmed by the fact that Managed Services was shortlisted for an EGR award.
In an official press release, Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, commented: “This December SOFTSWISS passed an important milestone in its development. Back in January there were just over 500 of us – now we are celebrating the 1,000 people threshold. This figure brings together smart, bright, courageous people who share the principles of respect, freedom and equality both in work and in everyday life. We have come together to create the best iGaming products and achieve common goals. I am happy to be a part of this big team and I thank everyone at SOFTSWISS for their trust and work!”.
