The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is looking for new talent to significantly increase its staff pool, building its capacity to invest in infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
“We are recruiting in-house talents in measured steps, making sure that the bank’s staff have professional and ethical integrity, full of passion and vigor in the service of the bank,” AIIB President Jin Liqun said during the opening ceremony of the bank’s inaugural annual meeting in Beijing, China, over the weekend.
Joachim von Amsberg, the bank’s vice president for policy and strategy, told Devex that recruitment is a high priority for AIIB, which opened six months ago. Other prerogatives include creating internal policies for engagement with stakeholders and operations.
“We're facing the hard work of building an institution, hiring the right people, making sure we really hire the best experts — the best staff in each area,” said von Amsberg, who joined the Beijing-based bank two months ago.
