To better balance our costs, ABN AMRO has temporarily implemented a hiring freeze. This measure helps us keep the bank healthy for both customers and employees. The hiring freeze applies to all departments, subsidiaries, and regions where we are active, without a set end date, as we continue to work towards a solid and sustainable future.
There is an exception to this rule: internships and traineeships remain open for applications. The influx of young talent is of great importance to us, as it contributes to our future leadership, diversity, and long-term continuity.
There are some exceptions to the current hiring freeze at our organization. Internships and traineeships remain open for applications, as the influx of young talent is crucial for our future leadership, diversity, and long-term continuity.
Additionally, specific departments within ABN AMRO and ICS, namely Detecting Financial Crime (DFC) and Operations (CC&OPS), have been granted permission to continue hiring. The DFC department has a critical agenda that is essential for complying with various legal obligations of the bank. Meanwhile, it is necessary for the CC&OPS department to ensure that daily customer service is maintained at the current service level. These exceptions are therefore vital for both legal compliance and the quality of our services.
