Techcombank's strategy of 'recruiting Vietnamese people globally': Leading the wave of returnees, creating a 'make in Vietnam' ecosystem

There was a time when young Vietnamese people studying and working abroad considered the “dream of settling down” as the ultimate destination. But in recent years, a counter-current wave has been forming: a generation of global Vietnamese talents, after many years of accumulating international knowledge and experience, are proactively returning home – with the desire to make their mark and contribute to the sustainable development of the country. Techcombank is a pioneering Vietnamese bank in leading the trend, creating a modern, international-standard working environment, a gathering place for outstanding domestic and foreign talents, attracting global Vietnamese to return and contribute to the journey of making Vietnam a developed country.

From “Best Place to Work in Vietnam” to Top 10 Workplaces in Asia (According to Great Place to Work®), Techcombank is the first bank in Vietnam to implement the strategy of “recruiting Vietnamese people globally” through the Overseas Talent Roadshow campaign – a series of events connecting Vietnamese talents in developed countries. After strong impressions in Singapore, the US, the UK and Australia, in 2025, the campaign will continue to expand its scale in Los Angeles (USA) and Paris (France) – two strategic markets in the journey to find global talent.

Overseas Talent Roadshow continues to expand international recruitment

"Make in Vietnam" ecosystem - ready for a breakthrough in the era of national growth.

In the context of many global fluctuations, Vietnam has maintained a GDP growth rate of 6.5 - 7%/year for more than a decade and is considered an attractive destination for investors, as well as an ideal "return point" for Vietnamese talents around the world.

Along with that, the Vietnamese Government has changed its strategic perspective from attracting FDI to proactively building private enterprises capable of mastering the “game”. Accordingly, the private economy has become a lever for a more prosperous Vietnam.

2025 is also a new turning point for Techcombank in promoting the development of an ecosystem according to the model of a synchronous and comprehensive financial group with three strategic pillars: digitalization - data - talent. In particular, Techcombank continues to pioneer the digital transformation journey, aiming to become a Top 10 bank in Southeast Asia; cooperate with One Mount Group to develop a digital platform serving 20 million users and create a future urban area with Masterise Group with a chain of smart cities meeting international standards.

Techcombank places its hopes on outstanding talents, focusing on AI, Blockchain, financial architects and creative urban planners, to accompany the realization of the aspiration to bring Vietnam to the world.

Overseas Talent Roadshow: Not just recruitment – ​​but long-term resource strategy.

Launched in 2022, the Overseas Talent Roadshow is designed not only as a recruitment event, but also as a long-term connection platform between Techcombank and the Vietnamese talent community abroad.

At each event, the bank not only introduces the working environment and career opportunities, but also shares its strategic vision, engages directly with senior leaders, and provides a clear development journey for international candidates.

2025 marks a new milestone with the participation of companies in the ecosystem such as One Mount Group and Masterise Group, and expanding destinations to Los Angeles - USA (May 9-10) and Paris - France (July 3-5). These are all markets with high-quality human resources in the financial industry - especially in areas such as data, technology and financial services, in line with the orientation, vision and aspirations of the bank and the ecosystem strategy that the bank develops. Before each major event, Techcombank will organize online Techcombank Info Day sessions to provide information in advance to the candidate community.

Since its launch, this campaign has become one of the largest and most systematic efforts to connect Vietnamese talent globally. Hundreds of experts in the fields of technology, data, finance, etc. have returned home through this program, bringing with them both their expertise and their desire to contribute.

The campaign carries the message “Be the ONE – Be Greater TOGETHER”, not only a call, but also a commitment to accompany, liberate and create real value with outstanding Vietnamese people around the world - those who carry within them the DNA and desire to dedicate themselves to a version of “Being Greater Every Day” for themselves, the bank and the country.

Creating a modern, international human resources market in Vietnam

At Techcombank, human resource strategy does not stop at attracting talent, but also focuses on developing and retaining outstanding individuals through a comprehensive training ecosystem, with a clear career path and outstanding compensation policies.

Each employee at Techcombank is empowered and facilitated to maximize their potential, through leadership development programs such as TechcomPACE, TechcomRISE, LEAP, WAY, and Changing Mindset, designed to suit each level and professional capacity.

To date, human resource investment costs – especially training – have always accounted for the largest proportion of Techcombank’s total operating costs. With more than 246 courses per year on 8 prestigious international training platforms such as LinkedIn Learning, AWS, Skillsoft, etc., Techcombank invests an average of 7,000 hours of training for its staff each year – a figure far exceeding the average of many large enterprises in Vietnam.

In addition to capacity development, Techcombank also implements many practical welfare policies such as An Cu, Rent-to-Own, and competitive performance bonuses - creating motivation and a solid foundation for long-term employee commitment.

Currently, more than 13,000 employees are working and developing together at one of the “Best Workplaces in Vietnam” and in the Top 9 “Best Workplaces in Asia” (according to Great Place to Work 2024) – with the Agile working model being comprehensively deployed throughout the system.

With a systematic investment strategy in people, Techcombank is redefining the image of a Vietnamese bank of international standards: not only a workplace, but also a launching pad for talented Vietnamese people to return and build their careers and futures right in their homeland.

Techcombank is committed to accompanying and creating all conditions to promote each employee to "Move towards the superior version of you", develop comprehensively and steadily with a common long-term goal.
