Assess Finance Group, set up a year ago by seven former managers in the BCR group, and which brokers insurance policies, credits, leasing services and private pensions, intends to hire 800 sales staff. “We want to make the top 10 on the brokerage market, which is dominated by captive companies of auto dealers and of banks. In order to do that, we need organic growth, volume growth, which can be achieved by hiring people. We have been on the brokerage market for a year and three months and we are already at No. 20,” said Mihaela Forgaciu, vice-president of Assess Finance. Forgaciu, 34, has in the past worked as HR manager at Raiffeisen Bank, Banca Romaneasca and five-star Bucharest hotel Radisson SAS. The credit brokerage market is currently frozen, she says.
