The branches of banks and their front offices are set to recover their lost glory. A year back, problems in worldwide financial markets and subsequent economic slowdown affected the sector.
As the economy is likely to report higher than 7% growth in FY10 and retail banking recovering, private and foreign banks in India are ready to recruit again. Particular positions in corporate banking are also believed to open up as more banks are looking to come up with new product ranges. The salary increments can range from 10% – 14% on an average, up from 0% – 8% last year.
Private banks are set to recruit nearly 25,000 employees, as compared to the calculated 50,000 employees in 2007-08 when the markets were at their peak. This was disclosed by a senior private bank official.
However few banks have not yet finalized their recruitment plans as they are looking to see how the loan growth takes place over the next some weeks. However private banks will still remain the major employers. In the olden days, the banks would hire employees and then send them over the branches, whenever they became operational. But now they are looking to hire for each branch individually.
