TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Domestic financial holding firms, banks, and insurance firms are poised to carry out massive manpower expansion plans this year, seeking to recruit at least 20,000 new employees to facilitate business expansions as the market recovery gets underway, according to industry sources.

Chinatrust Financial Holding, for instance, is planning to recruit at least 100 wealth management specialists, 100 customer service staffers, and 50 people for lendings to individuals, as the consumer banking market is expected to gradually pick up this year.

In addition, Chinatrust will seek to recruit at least 30 more new employees versed in corporate banking operations, setting strict requirements in a bid to recruit those who have good education backgrounds and have an international outlook, and are ambitious enough to achieve great results.

Chinatrust manpower managers noted that the firm's demand for workforce has rebounded to the same level as recorded before the exposure of the global financial tsunami in the second half of 2008.

Meanwhile, Shin Kong Financial Holdings is planning to recruit at least 3,000 new sales representatives, and seek another 260 people as in-office service staffers at its headquarters and branches of its banking arm, Shin Kong Commercial Bank.

Of the three major domestic commercial banks, Hua Nan Commercial Bank is the most active in recruiting new employees. The bank is planning to hire 250 new employees to meet the demand for manpower at its branches at home and abroad, especially mainland China.

The First Commercial Bank is also ready to add at least 100 new employees to its workforce, so as to meet the manpower demand of its branches in Shanghai, Macau and Hanoi.

On another front, domestic life insurance firms are poised to implement massive workforce expansion projects. Cathay Life, the bellwether of the local life insurance industry, is planning to recruit as many as 6,000 to 7,000 new employees, especially sales representatives, to cash in on the recovery of the domestic life insurance market.

For the same reason, two other leading domestic life insurers, Shin Kong Life and Fubon Life Assurance, have also readied plans to hire at least 3,000 new sales persons each this year.

In response to economic recovery and employment stimulus measures from the Executive Yuan, the high-tech and financial sectors are set to offer more than 30,000 job opportunities this year.

As the graduation season approaches, firms will be doing all they can to attract talent. These moves will bring in new blood to the job market and also trigger a wave of job hopping.

Major high-tech companies including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., United Microelectronics Corp., AU Optronics Corp., Innolux Display Corp. and Motech Industries Inc., and leading financial firms such as Cathay Financial Holdings, Fubon Financial Holding Co. Ltd. and Shin Kong Financial Holding Co. Ltd. have resumed full-scale staff recruiting, setting off a talent war in their sectors.

The job-switching trend witnessed prior to the global financial tsunami is likely to reappear, resulting in worker mobility as high as 18 percent in science parks, in contrast to the single-digit figures registered in 2009.

Morris Chang, chairman of TSMC, announced March 11 that starting immediately the company will be opening up 2,400 full-time positions, replacing some current temporary contract workers. TSMC hopes in this way to improve morale and stimulate production.

In addition to hiring for existing full-time positions, TSMC will invest NT$150 billion (US$4.71 billion) in Taiwan, providing 3,000 openings for engineers, raising the enterprise’s total job offerings for the year to 5,400.

AUO also announced March 11 the commencement of its hiring campaign for 2010, with positions for 2,500 employees, including specialists not only in panels and optoelectronics, but also in solar energy and organic light-emitting diodes, to bring in new blood to prepare for the firm’s next 10 years of development.

Human resources directors in the semiconductor industry said the two leading firms, TSMC and AUO, worth NT$2 trillion, are expanding production on a large scale this year, so a huge number of positions are available, and this will generate job hopping in the market.

In the financial and insurance sectors, extensive hiring will resume this year, with an overall demand for over 20,000 personnel. (THN)
