1win Shares Its Approach To Talent Development Across 7,000-Strong Team

1win has detailed its approach to talent development across a workforce of more than 7,000 people, with internal progression and employee adaptability forming central parts of its recruitment strategy.

Founded in 2016, the iGaming platform now operates across more than 35 GEOs and has employees working across more than 30 offices worldwide.

According to the company, its recruitment process considers professional experience alongside how candidates approach decision-making, changing market conditions and responsibility.

“A strong CV is a baseline filter. When candidates have comparable backgrounds, what makes the difference is the way they think,” the 1win HR team said.

1win Focuses On Internal Progression

Internal development plays a significant role in 1win’s approach, with the company reporting that 70% of its C-level executives have progressed from within the business.

Employees can pursue vertical progression into positions with greater responsibility or move horizontally into different projects and adjacent areas of the company.

1win also encourages employees to propose new processes and business approaches, with selected ideas potentially developing into new projects or areas of operation.

The 1win HR team said: “At 1win, new directions often appear before open vacancies do. That is why a strong specialist’s expertise can become the basis for a new role in the team.”

Adaptability And Autonomy Shape Recruitment

Alongside professional expertise, 1win said it focuses on three characteristics when assessing talent: flexibility in uncertain conditions, autonomy and adaptability.

The company looks for employees who can make decisions without complete information, test ideas, learn from unsuccessful approaches and adjust as market conditions change.

Autonomy is also emphasised, with employees expected to establish priorities, identify potential risks and take responsibility without continuous supervision.

Candidates are assessed on the quality of their decisions, their contribution to wider team results, the scale of their thinking and their willingness to improve processes.

“We value people who think beyond their role and are not afraid to step outside their usual responsibilities,” the 1win HR team said.

New employees are given operational responsibilities from an early stage, with regular one-to-one meetings used to align priorities and expected outcomes.

The company also provides technical courses and management training as employees progress towards greater autonomy.

1win said its approach has contributed to wider recognition for the business, with 1win Partners receiving Best Affiliate Management of the Year at the AffPapa iGaming Awards LATAM and Best CMO at the BWIGA Awards 2026 during 2025–2026.

Employee Benefits And Workplace Culture

1win has a dedicated corporate culture team responsible for introducing employees to internal opportunities, benefits and activities.

Alongside corporate events and team-building sessions, employees can participate in sports, interest groups, holidays and internal challenges.

The wider benefits package includes professional development courses, AI training, language courses, access to the MyBook corporate library and sessions with a psychologist.

Additional benefits are available at the company’s Cyprus office, including daily meals, gym access, an in-house medical team, coffee and smoothie facilities, Sunday padel sessions, a WHOOP band for new employees and an on-site car wash.

The company also provides a relocation package for employees moving to Cyprus.

1win Targets Talent Across Multiple Disciplines

1win has recently recruited across leadership, affiliates, product, marketing analytics, AI-supported localisation, social media, promotions and game design, including regional positions focused on Latin America.

The company also operates a Talent Search format for professionals who cannot find a suitable current vacancy.

Candidates can outline the type of role they are considering, their main areas of expertise, previous projects and future development goals, with 1win considering whether an existing or new position could provide a suitable fit.
