Lunchtime Links: 500 new jobs in Singapore; 6 new jobs in London
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) is preparing for big hiring in Singapore. According to Reuters, it intends to hire 500 people there in the next 12 months. Unfortunately, not many of the hires are likely to be in the sought after areas of investment banking: ANZ is focusing on private banking, retail banking, commercial and corporate banking and support staff.
Meanwhile, in London, Mitsubishi appears to have got a hiring spurt on. Financial News reports that it's hired six new people for credit trading (Adam Derr and Rick Mattilia from BofA, Eva Olsson from DB, Stefano Panciroli from Newedge, and Clementine Leon and Kris van Lancker from Mitsubishi Trust International).
