HIRING SPREEBesides Goldman and Citigroup, Swiss bank UBS hired 200 people in the year through March, which consisted of 20 new full-time staff compared to seven in the previously financial year, a spokesman said. The total number of licenses it issued was up 1.7% at the end of March, compared with nine months earlier, and just shy of an all-time peak in 2019. Citigroup, for example, has said it is bulking up its staffing by 1,500 people, including additional headcount and replacements in 2021, double the number of people it hired a year ago. The bank took on 100 contractors and 80 graduates in the year to March. "We are probably two to three times as busy now as we were late last year," said Olga Yung, regional director at recruitment firm Michael Page (PAGE.L) in Hong Kong.
