UniCredit will recruit 1,400 individuals

UniCredit Tiriac Bank could hire up to 1,400 people this year in order to sustain its territorial expansion and fill vacant positions following the intense fluctuation of personnel across the banking sector. “We estimate to recruit around 1,400 people this year. Around 650 staff will sustain organic growth,” says Daniela Rohan, executive vice-president of the human resources department at UniCredit Tiriac Bank. The bank’s human resource department implemented this year’s recruitment programme after an analysis of the labour market. “If personnel fluctuation stays at 24-25% in the banking sector this year, we estimate the bank will recruit up to 1,400 people”, but Rohan says the number could be smaller if this percentage is lower. UniCredit Tiriac currently employs 2,750 people, whilst 120 new employees join the company every month. Since the beginning of this year, 250 to 300 individuals have been recruited. The bank will open 70 branches this year, and each unit will employ 6 to 9 people. The bank has 37 events scheduled in the biggest universities in Romania, which aim to recruit both undergraduates and graduates. “We target both economic universities, as well as other universities. An in-house study revealed that 20% of our employees are not educated in economics. Apart from economic education, we will look at subjects such as engineering, mathematics and law,” explains Rohan. The entry-level gross salary for a bank employee stands at no less than 1,400 RON (380 euros), according to information available on the bank’s website.
