Perbezaan keperluan pengambilan tenaga kerja baru antara perbankan syariah dengan perbankan konvensional di Medan, Indonesia

This paper attempts to identify the difference of requirement in recruitment process between sharia banks and conventional banks in Indonesia taking Medan as a case study. Data was collected from the questionnaire given to the banks’ key informants. This paper is analyzed using Item Analysis. The results show that there was no significant requirement difference between sharia and conventional banks in recruitment process, based on the 4 factors namely education attainment, competence and technical skills, job experience and personal characteristics of employees candidate. This is probably due to the background of sharia banks’ growth process. Considering that sharia banks will need many new employees in the future, Indonesia thefore requires more new institutions of education and training especially in sharia banking.
