The human resources section at China Sunwah Bank had to determine to the 28 divisions of Sunwah Bank - on 22 new appointments - just 12 of which were officially advertised. Had been received and the final list of candidates based on merit had been reduced to 48.
The department member had proposed innumerable hours reading out applications along with conducting interviews; yet, a few members had been coping with specific acceptance for a few applicants from government officials, friends, former teachers and bank managers in a system known as the "guanxi," which had its foundation on a reciprocal exchange of favours that kept individuals intact. The looming threat was how to select the talented and most skilled recruits for the new placements at Sunwah Bank, recalling the guanxi-based requests for favours from important stakeholders and friends - including some who had given Sunwah Bank executives in the recent past significant favours. The options availablewould need sensitivity and cultural consciousness. Who would the section why and hire?
