Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Several banks have recently announced they wouldrecruit a large number of personnel to meet their business expansion plans inthe last quarter of the year - the busiest time for banks.
HDBank announced a plan to recruit 1,000 new staff for transaction offices andbranches in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and 44 other cities and provincesnationwide. The positions to be filled are for individual and corporatecustomer relationship managers and consultants.
HDBank currently has about 6,200 employees at 285 transaction offices andbranches nationwide, in addition to nearly 8,000 employees at its consumerfinance subsidiary HD Saison.
A number of other banks will also have to step up recruitment from now to theyear-end as they have announced plans to hire thousands of employees this year,but no significant progress has been made.
For example, ACB in March launched a nationwide effort to recruit 1,000 peoplefor various positions in the bank’s business, operations and informationtechnology divisions this year, but the number of the bank’s employeesdecreased by 168 people in the first half of this year.
The same move was seen at Nam A Bank, which said it would recruit 2,000employees from managers to consultants in 2019 to expand the network anddevelop nationwide, but the number of personnel at the bank basically remainedstable in the first six months according to the bank’s financial statements.
Earlier, in the first six months, many banks also recruited a large number ofemployees, such as Vietcombank with 1,136 new employees; TPBank, 682; MBBank,739; and Techcombank, 529.
Industry insiders said banks have been expanding their networks and deployingnew business activities, so demand for workers is growing. - VNS/VNA
