The big three Singaporean banks – DBS, UOB and OCBC – are taking a more aggressive and flexible approach in the Chinese recruitment market in order to compete with domestic and other foreign banks.

Their expansion is evidenced by DBS’s target of growing its 1,000-strong headcount by 20 per cent this year. UOB is also growing its branch network – a further sign that Singaporean banks might be shedding their status as conservative recruiters.

Oliver Draper, director, Consult Group, comments: “When looking at the candidate-hiring requirements of Singapore banks, it is noticeable that recently they have become more flexible in some ways, with less attention on a candidate’s tertiary qualifications and previous working experience and more focus on a candidate’s existing business networks and client portfolios.”
