As a guest on ZF Live on March 7, Nevenca Doca, Senior Executive Director of Human Resources at Banca Transilvania, spoke about BT’s openness to bringing Ukrainians onto the team. The key messages were:

Welcome to BT:

• Beyond immediate humanitarian support for Ukrainians arriving in Romania, we are preparing a long‑term plan for those who decide to stay. That also means access to jobs, because it is important for them to integrate, maintain a decent quality of life and keep their children in education. This is why we are opening up recruitment at Banca Transilvania to Ukrainian citizens as well.
• We are putting in place an onboarding process for them. We will give priority to people who have previously worked in banks in Ukraine and who speak Romanian and/or English, and we are reaching out to them through their community and NGOs.
• We have open roles across the country — including for Ukrainians — in front office (a pipeline for promotion into other roles), call center, technology, cybersecurity, risk management and financial analysis.
• We look at candidates’ experience and what they can do, and we also focus on three things that are key to our culture: autonomy (being able to work independently), adaptability to change and collaboration.
• Some roles require presence in the office; others can be worked in a hybrid model.

Benefits & human banking

• For anyone considering joining our bank, the compensation package includes: monthly salary, meal vouchers, bonuses, a holiday bonus, extended medical services, health insurance, a voluntary pension, discounts with BT partners, etc.
• We also look at how to support family quality of life, given that most of the people arriving from Ukraine are mothers. We therefore take their children into account as well, through our contacts with kindergartens and schools, so that they can study in Romanian or English.

Over the past three years, Banca Transilvania has hired an average of 1,200 people a year.

Banca Transilvania is preparing an onboarding process for future Ukrainian employees

As a guest on ZF Live on March 7, Nevenca Doca, Senior Executive Director of Human Resources at Banca Transilvania, spoke about BT’s openness to bringing Ukrainians onto the team. The messages were as follows: We are trying, beyond immediate humanitarian support for Ukrainians coming to Romania, to prepare a long‑term plan for those who decide to remain in the country. This also means jobs, because it is important for them to integrate, have a decent quality of life and not interrupt their children’s education. That is why we have decided to extend hiring at Banca Transilvania to Ukrainian citizens as well. We are preparing an onboarding process for them, giving priority to people who have previously worked in banks in Ukraine and who speak Romanian and/or English. We are trying to reach them through their community and NGOs. Open positions at BT, including for Ukrainians, are available across the country: front office (a pipeline for promotion into other roles), call center, technology, cybersecurity, risk management and financial analysis. We look at candidates’ experience and what they can do, but we also take into account three things that are very important to our organizational culture: autonomy (being able to work independently), adaptability to change and collaboration. Some jobs require presence in the office, while others can be performed in a hybrid model.
