Central Bank of India is reportedly planning to recruit 2,700 people this year to add to the 3,200 recruited last year, which is triggered due to large number of retirements.
Vijayalakshmi R Iyer, Executive Director, Central Bank of India was quoted as saying that this number would be exclusive of the addition in specialised segments such as treasury operations, legal, and so on. We are in fact trying to do locational recruitment and to the extent possible post them closer to their home town. We have since inked a pact with IBPS (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection) for clerical recruitment.
Around 1,500 to 1,800 are retiring every year, over the last two years and in the next three years. The bank has approached about 20 institutions across the country last year to hire people, added reports.
