Banking is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the Polish economy. The involvement of foreign capital contributed to the use of modern organizational and management solutions coming from the West. The society, bank employees and also researchers used to assess employment in banks as demanding. Bank employees are frequently called knowledge workers. It is often said that the requirements for positions in the banking sector are high. The prevalence of higher education among banks' employees clearly affected this opinion. On the other hand, what can be observed in Poland is the popularization and depreciation of BA and MA education.Earlier surveys and the results of interviews conducted with employees of banks confirm the high requirements placed on the workers(2). The author challenges the thesis that the personnel policy in Poland's banks is characterized by high requirements placed on applicants and employees. Considerations need to be supported by theory. Given the author's earlier analysis, it seems that it would be appropriate to anchor the considerations and empirical observations in the sieve model presented by M. Kostera. It is one of the two models (besides the human capital model) of personnel policy proposed by this author. The following are the main assumptions of the sieve model: high requirements on workers, competition between employees, high professionalism, constant personnel fluctuations, personnel's lack of loyalty. This paper's aim is to confirm or deny the fact that the sieve model exists in the process of recruitment and selection of candidates for banking positions in Poland.
