Today, MCB is one of Pakistan's leading banks with over Rs. 300 billion in assets and over 1,000 branches across the country. MCB's human resource management processes include forecasting staffing needs, recruiting through various sources, screening candidates, conducting tests and interviews to select new employees, and providing training and benefits to current staff.
