Hiring Approximately 700 Employees in the Second Half of the Year
Expanding Recruitment Scale Compared to Last Year Despite Challenging Conditions Such as Changes in Sales Environment and Financial Market Uncertainty

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Shinhan Bank is launching a large-scale recruitment of about 700 people in the second half of this year.

Shinhan Bank announced on the 5th that it will hire a total of 400 people through five different recruitment tracks, including open recruitment for general entry-level clerks.

Despite difficult conditions such as uncertainties in the financial market, Shinhan Bank decided to expand the scale of recruitment considering future talent demand and social expectations for youth employment creation. In addition to the open recruitment for entry-level clerks, Shinhan Bank plans to hire a total of about 700 people including experienced professionals, specialists, and re-employment of retired employees.

The recruitment starting from today will be conducted for a total of 400 people through ▲open recruitment for general entry-level clerks ▲digital/ICT rolling recruitment ▲digital/ICT rolling recruitment Samsung Youth SW Academy special track ▲digital/ICT rolling recruitment master's/PhD special track ▲and social value special track.

First, the open recruitment for general entry-level clerks will proceed in the order of document screening, written test (SLT), and first and second interviews after the recruitment announcement is posted today. Especially this year, the recruitment scale will be expanded compared to last year, and the written test will be reorganized to lower the entry barrier for bank recruitment. Specifically, the written test consists of NCS/financial knowledge (evaluating basic job skills and financial understanding) and digital literacy assessment (verifying logical thinking and situational judgment skills).

Shinhan Bank’s policy is to shift away from simply verifying memorized knowledge to comprehensively evaluating problem-solving skills and understanding necessary for job performance, minimizing the preparation burden on job seekers while selecting talent equipped with digital capabilities.

In the first half of the year, Shinhan Bank secured a wide range of digital/ICT talents through various rolling recruitments and job briefing programs including ▲entry-level ▲master’s/PhD ▲specialized high school ▲Samsung Youth SW Academy special tracks. In the second half, it plans to accelerate digital transformation by hiring more than triple-digit numbers following the first half.

This rolling recruitment will be conducted in five fields: ▲banking services ▲new technologies ▲mobile ▲UX/UI ▲information security. Starting this year, the UX/UI field has been newly added to entry-level recruitment to spread user-based customer experience throughout the bank.

The social value special recruitment, newly established last year to practice social value from the ESG (environmental, social, governance) perspective and discover diverse talents, will continue. It plans to hire general and ICT general positions targeting people with disabilities, national veterans, multicultural families, and children of fallen public officials.

Document submission is available on the Shinhan Bank recruitment website until the 22nd.
