Banks on hiring drive

A FLURRY of hiring is underway at many banks in Singapore, reversing the bloodletting of last year when the global financial crisis took a harsh toll on jobs.

More than 1,000 staff are being hired by banks, poised to cash in on the expected return of the good times. This is based on a check of banks by The Straits Times.

Many of the jobs are senior positions but entry level jobs are on offer too.
