Management of the newly established Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG) Limited has, in a memo sighted by Today, asked its staff to re-apply for their jobs.
The recruitment exercise was expected to commence yesterday, Wednesday, August 29, 2018.
Management said, a link to the recruitment portal would be sent to the staff via email and those interested were required to submit their details and Curriculum Vitae (CVs) through the recruitment portal.
The memo stated that to enable a staff to successfully apply for a role in CBG, they need to adhere to some guidelines which included all applicants must log in with their staff ID numbers with the exception of applicants from the erstwhile uniBank Ghana Limited, who can only log in to the portal with their staff account numbers, the recruitment portal will remain active from Wednesday, 29 August, to Monday, 3 September, 2018 and the applicants should ensure that the following information is made available; your bio-data, educational and professional qualifications and details of your employment history before logging into the recruitment portal.
The rest of the guidelines want the staff who do not have direct access to the bank’s computers to seek the assistance of their line manager to input their details and upload their CVs. Line managers should also contact their staff on maternity leave to either go to the nearest branch or location to send their application and in addition applicants should be required to submit their CVs either in word or pdf format.
“The size of their CVs should not exceed 2MB,” the memo stated.
According to the memo, the submission of their details on the recruitment portal does not mean a confirmation of position.
“If you are shortlisted for the next stage of the recruitment process, you will be required to take placement assessment(s),” the memo indicated.
CBG was formed when the Bank of Ghana recently fused uniBank together with Sovereign Bank, The Royal Bank, The Beige Bank and The Construction Bank.
Some 1,700 staff of the bank are expected to be laid off.
