'Bankrupt` Lehman Brothers on hiring spree!

[OhioChick]

New Delhi, Sept 21: Collapse of the Lehman Brothers in the world's biggest ever bankruptcy story may have sent thousands of its employees flocking the job market, but the 158-year-old American investment bank giant still seems to be in hiring mood.

Once known as one of the favourite places to work in the financial services space, especially due to its fat pay packages, Lehman Brothers had a workforce of close to 26,000 employees at the last count. But its filing for bankruptcy protection on September 15 saw nearly all its employees on a lookout for new employers.

However, Lehman Brothers seems to be continuing with its hiring activities, as it has posted at least four new job vacancies for the US after its bankruptcy filing. These vacancies are for positions like Investor Accounting Specialist, Foreclosure Specialist and Default Supervisor, and they seem to have been posted on the bank's website a day after the bankruptcy filing or later.

In addition, Lehman Brothers has over a dozen recruitment events lined up across the world through September, October and November.

The interested candidates, if any, can register for these recruiting events and presentations in the career section of Lehman's website.

1. They went to a lot of trouble to lower the payroll.

Now Hiring: College grads at $15 per hr., no benefits, but a really cool title.

My company is undergoing a 30% downsizing, and no one knows who's going to make it.
