Small players suffer severe personnel shortage

Due to the rapid expansion of the banking network, with large players leading an increasingly aggressive personnel recruitment campaign, small banks, with specialised staff, are being considered as recruitment sources for the larger banks. The opening of another 1,000 bank branches across the entire system, after the 1,000 branches opened last year, is putting significant pressure on attracting personnel. The entry of powerful players on the market, which are now trying to start businesses from scratch, is also putting pressure on the already insufficient amount of skilled personnel in the banking system. The small players in the system, whose personnel is specialised on certain lines of business, depending on their chosen niche, are therefore adequate recruitment sources for the bigger banks, which are now developing new departments.
