Boom Entertainment has been named the 2022 Employer of the Year by EGR, besting online gaming companies across North America.

Boom Entertainment has been honored with the inaugural Employer of the Year Award as part of the 2022 EGR Awards.

This achievement reflects a concerted effort by Boom to attract and retain the best talent in online gaming through leadership and development, an inclusive culture, and benefits.

Boom’s employee-friendly initiatives include stock options for all full time staff, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and strong healthcare benefits.

“Boom has grown explosively in the last 14 months, from 25 full-time employees to over 80, and we’ve been intentional about creating a mature, inclusive, and fun place to work,” says Casey Gaynor, Director of HR and Talent Acquisition.

“Ironically, we weren't able to collect the EGR Employer of the Year Award in person because more than 60 Boom team members were attending a weeklong in-person retreat at an incredible resort. The retreat schedule included plenty of opportunities for the Boom team to play games (including golf and karaoke), socialize, and connect."

“Online gaming is an exciting industry and we have really big goals at Boom as part of our mission to transform the entertainment industry,” said Daniel Saltz, Director of Engineering. “While that in and of itself is highly motivating to the team, what makes those goals achievable is that we hire incredibly talented individuals who are happy to share their knowledge. We have a highly collaborative environment where everyone is encouraged to teach and learn.”

Boom is always looking to add top talent during this unprecedented growth phase. Domain experts with an interest in gaming or sports are encouraged to visit booment.com/careers or email their resume to hiring@booment.com
