Empire Recruitment UK and MSS Recruitment Macau are expanding their strategic alliance.

“The agreement creates a global recruitment service partnership, and will meaningfully strengthen our position in the fast-growing gaming industry,” said Empire’s Svetlana Thompson.

“A critical piece of this strategic alliance will be our local services to employers and job seekers, which will be more accessible for both. This partnership is an important next step for our companies.

"We are thrilled to be working more closely with MSS Recruitment and we think this agreement represents a great opportunity to benefit our clients and grow our businesses. This partnership provides us with a great opportunity to further extend our search and advertising reach to one of the largest and most active gaming communities in Asia.

Jiji Tu, managing director of MSS Recruitment, said: “This will give us greater spread on a global basis for search assignments and the development of i-gaming, which we believe will be big business in Asia.”
