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.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
