DBS to hire over 2,000 people amidst economic slump

More than half will be apprentices and specialised roles.

DBS has committed to hiring over 2,000 people in Singapore this year, in which more than half are new roles comprising apprenticeships and specialised roles, according to an announcement.

Its annual internship programmes will also continue unabated.

The announcement follows an earlier pledge to protect its 12,000-strong workforce in the country. All employees, including branch staff who are unable to perform their duties because of temporary branch closures, continue to remain on full pay.

In addition, employees facing a lull in work activity are encouraged to upskill themselves through a comprehensive e-learning programme.

In line with DBS’ ongoing digitalisation efforts, over 360 jobs are for seasoned professionals in growth technology areas, including more than 300 new roles in UX/UI, data science, fraud detection compliance, as well as consumer and institutional banking technology.

Moreover, DBS is looking to train and hire over 60 people in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, full stack development and data analytics through specialised talent development programmes like the Technology in Finance Immersion Programme (TFIP) and the TechSkills Accelerator (TeSA) Mid-Career Advance, respectively.

DBS is also recruiting more than 700 talents in its Graduate Associate programmes, the Applied Wealth Management Track, Analytics Capability Enhancement Programme and Executive Management Associate Programme, and six to 12-month apprenticeships, with the possibility of conversion to a permanent role.
