Abstract

The paper describes the necessity of application of intelligent technologies to support decisions of more objective problems in human resource management. In this paper, we describe the methodology for personnel selection problem for the vacancy with regard to the importance and nonequivalence of numerous indicators characterizing the alternatives. The specific features of the selection problem are highlighted, immersing the problem into a fuzzy environment. A fuzzy multicriterial model of the personnel selection problem is proposed. A technique of order preference by similarity to ideal solition (TOPSIS), was applied for evaluation and regulation of alternatives. This technique is based on criteria of qualitative character, which are hierarchically structured by multiple experts to intellectually support decisions made in personnel selection problem. Using TOPSIS method and generated criteria system an experiment was conducted for evaluation of the candidates during solution of hiring problems. The obtained and reviewed results were compared with results obtained using in reality.

We describe the methodology for personnel selection problem for the vacancy with regard to the importance and nonequivalence of numerous indicators characterizing the alternatives
For the realization of selection issue, the level of relevance and relation of alternatives to criteria indicators, based on conversion of linguistic expressions of quality of our natural language to a fuzzy number based on proximity to an ideal solution and remoteness from an extremely bad solution traditional are carried out using TOPSIS method allowing discovery of the best solution and ranging of alternatives

Summary

Introduction

In the transition to knowledge-based economy, ensuring effective performance and competitiveness of the organization (enterprises, companies, firms, etc.) requires increased attention to the personnel, i.e. human factor. Employees of the organizations are considered as the main strategic resource, ensuring its performance and achievements of its objectives. According to this concept, the staff becomes one of the main resources of the organization and the necessary funds must be invested to ensure its proper management and optimal conditions for its development [1].
