The country’s economic recovery prompted 9 banks to beef up workforce.

The economic recovery has enabled most of the banks in Taiwan to score considerable profits last year, with some to recruit more employees for planned expansions, which may raise Taiwan`s banking workforce by 1,500 jobs this year. 

Bank SinoPac has decided to employ 200-250 more persons this year to boost its workforce up to nearly 5,000 persons by the end of the year.

Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank and Chinatrust Commercial Bank each may hire 300 more persons; while Cathay United Bank and Taishin International Bank each will add 100 persons. News is that the said four banks will recruit more people to reinforce wealth management services. 

Hua Nan Commercial Bank, Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, and First Commercial Bank all plan to strengthen wealth management capacity too. Currently the three banks have wealth management staff numbering 300-400 and each may raise the number by 40-50. Chang Hwa may hire 100 new employees this year while the corresponding figure for Hua Nan will be 150 and 250 for First.
