DBS to hire future-ready tech talents via hackathon

The Hack2Hire programme will hire up to 100 qualified candidates.

DBS plans to hire up to 100 tech talents through its hackathon programme Hack2Hire.

The bank's hiring programme comes amidst an advisory issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore aiming to promote progressive human capital practices and urging banks to invest in digital and data-driven training programmes for skills development and continuous workforce upskilling.

According to a press release, the programme will recruit scrum masters, user interface and user experience designers, mobile app developers, solution architects, data scientists and system engineers to create an all-around Agile tech team.

“To reimagine banking, it is important that we leverage the latest technology and embed ourselves in the customer journey. The new tech talents bring fresh perspectives and skillsets, and complement existing teams to enable us to continue making banking simpler and more effortless for customers,” said DBS Group Head of Consumer Banking and Big Data Analytics Soh Siew Choo.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
