Gaming software developer is hiring as it expands amid recession
A Macau fledging gaming software developer is recruiting staff to establish its presence in the online gaming business. 'I am not concerned about the recent slowdown in the global economy or Macau's gaming industry because I see it as an opportunity to fully establish our business,' said Iao Lam, executive director of Laxino Technology. He said the company was only just starting out and would not be fully operational for at least another six months.
Mr Iao started the company last June with a vision to become one of the largest gaming software providers in Asia and a publicly listed company within three years.
'The business was in the planning stages for about nine months and I started on my own and then began the recruitment phase,' said Mr Iao, who has worked for gaming operators in Macau and Las Vegas. 'My expertise is in starting up companies and I decided why not start my own.'
Laxino has 42 staff and is undertaking a major recruitment campaign to fill 50 positions in marketing, software engineering and mathematicians.
Laxino is an information technology (IT) service provider and business operations consultancy firm specialising in the gaming sector. The company's first major client in Macau was Kingsway Hotel and services included hardware design, website and payment set-up, and IT support.
