DBS eyes AI and blockchain talent

DBS Bank plans to hire 150 developers and engineers skilled in artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain through its Hack2Hire programme. Into its fourth edition, Hack2Hire is a virtual hackathon where participants are required to solve a range of business and technology problems that will test not only their technical competencies, but also their approach to problem solving and teamwork. Successful candidates will be invited for a final interview during the same event. Hack2Hire was last organised in 2019 and was put on hold last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. DBS has hired around 120 people from the previous three runs of the programme.
