Nomura hasn’t traditionally been a bank to shout about its hiring plans in Asian private banking, but in the current febrile job market most firms are getting into the act. Having a headcount-expansion story to tell can help win over candidates amid continued shortages of relationship managers, say recruiters.
In the next two years, Nomura wants to hire another 50 RMs in Asia, taking its total to between 135 and 150, Ravi Raju, the head of Nomura's international wealth management unit, told Reuters.
