About

I work on hiring in the iGaming industry — online casinos, sportsbooks, game studios, affiliates — and I run SpinHire, a job board that covers only that corner of tech. Most of my week goes into data rather than recruiting: career pages that quietly move to a JS widget, the same role duplicated across a dozen small boards, and the fact that only about 9% of the openings we index say what the job pays. Here to read how other people build and launch, and to talk about two-sided marketplaces, scraped data going stale, and hiring in general. Based in Nicosia.

How do you notice when a data source breaks quietly instead of loudly?

Half of what I ship is a crawler, and the failures I dread are the quiet ones. A company moved its careers page to a JS widget last month, our parser kept returning HTTP 200 with an empty list, and from the outside it simply looked like they had stopped hiring. Nothing alerted, because technically nothing had failed.

I ended up alerting on the shape of the data instead of the status code: if a source drops more than half its rows overnight, a human looks at it before anything downstream moves. That threshold is a guess, and it still misses the slow rot, where a site changes one selector and you lose a third of the fields without ever losing the page.

Hi PH, we're a small team building a job board only for iGaming

Hi everyone. We run SpinHire, a job board that covers one industry only: online casinos, sportsbooks, game studios and affiliate companies. It started because roles in this space are scattered across dozens of small boards and company career pages, and the general boards mix them up with video game jobs.

Today the index has about 6,700 live openings from around 440 companies, refreshed every six hours, and all of it is open as a free public API with no key. The number that surprised us most is how few posts say what the job pays: only about 9% of openings in the index show a salary range. For an industry that fights hard over engineers, payments and compliance people, we expected much more.

So a question for anyone hiring or job hunting: do you skip a post with no salary range, or is it still normal in your field to learn the number only at the second interview?

We're at spinhire.io if you want to look around.
