In a unique job advertisement published recently, the company is looking for “responsible and motivated individuals who want to work in a dynamic gaming environment.

The job description includes actively playing video games, maintaining a high level of accuracy and responsibility during gameplay, as well as teamwork and communication with colleagues and supervisors.

Candidates are expected to have experience in popular competitive titles such as Dota 2, League of Legends, EA Sports FC 26, and Counter-Strike 2.

Basic requirements include being of legal age, readiness to work full-time in three shifts, and demonstrating responsibility, punctuality, and professionalism. Preference will be given to players with experience in online or offline tournaments, familiarity with competitive environments, and one-on-one match play.

“We offer stable employment, office-based work, hourly wages with additional bonuses based on victories, and a pleasant, team-oriented working atmosphere,” the advertisement states, as reported by CAPITAL.

This type of engagement in Banja Luka highlights how the domestic labor market is gradually recognizing gaming as a serious industry, where skill and strategic thinking carry real market value.

The scale of the industry globally further underscores this trend. In 2025, the gaming industry officially surpassed $220 billion in revenue, exceeding the combined earnings of both the film and music industries.
