A recruiter who actually writes code.
I'm Richard Freppoli, Head of Recruitment at AiGamingRecruitment. Years in iGaming recruitment, plus a genuine technical background. I build with the same stack you're hiring for, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, and I run my own AI tooling. It's why we brief better on tech and AI hires than the generalists do.
Meet Richard
Two worlds, one focus.
I started AiGamingRecruitment because the market had a gap I kept falling into. I've spent years recruiting across the iGaming industry, but somewhere along the way I became genuinely obsessed with technology, AI and automation, the same disciplines now reshaping the companies I recruit for.
That combination turned out to be the whole point. Most recruiters working on tech and AI roles cannot tell a strong engineer from someone who has only read about it. I can, because I live in this world. I build with large language models every day, I ship code, I automate the mundane with n8n, and I think in data, systems and pipelines.
So when I brief a role or talk to a candidate, I'm not keyword-matching a CV. I understand the work, the stacks, the trade-offs, and how modern tech and AI actually get used inside a live, regulated iGaming product. That is what AiGamingRecruitment is: a specialist agency for technology and AI talent in iGaming, run by someone who genuinely speaks both languages.

The things this brand is built on.
Modern engineering
I ship code and understand the stacks behind live products. That's how I judge real engineering ability rather than a polished CV.
Large language models
Hands-on with Claude, Codex and open models. I understand what they can and cannot do, and how to build with them responsibly.
Data
Data is the foundation of modern tech. I think in signals, pipelines and models, which is how I assess the people who build them.
Automation & n8n
I automate everyday work with n8n and AI. Living it is why I genuinely understand the roles I recruit for.
iGaming
Years inside iGaming recruitment mean I know the operators, the roles and the regulated, real-money context.
Recruitment
First and last, I'm a recruiter. Finding the right person for the right role, honestly and quickly, is the craft.
Why AiGamingRecruitment
One niche, done properly.
Tech and AI are rewriting iGaming, and the companies that win will be the ones with the strongest engineering and AI talent. Finding those people takes a recruiter who actually understands them, knowing the difference between a genuinely remote-first culture and one that just tolerates it, between a strong hire and a plausible one.
That is the entire idea behind AiGamingRecruitment: depth over breadth. I don't recruit for everything. I recruit technology and AI talent for iGaming, and because that's all I do, I do it better than a generalist ever could.
How I work
What you can expect.
Specialist, not generalist
Only technology and AI roles, only in iGaming. The focus is the value.
Honest advice
Straight talk on fit, salary and the market, even when it isn't what you hoped to hear.
Both sides of the table
I represent employers and candidates with the same care, because good matches need both.
Discreet at senior level
Leadership and confidential searches handled quietly and professionally.
Let's talk.
Whether you're hiring tech or AI talent in iGaming, or thinking about your next move, I'd be glad to help.
