A multicriteria outranking modeling approach for personnel selection

Abstract

Personnel selection constitutes an important decision making problem that determines, to a large degree, the competitiveness and performance of organizations. The personnel selection process works with the vacancy requirements and the available information concerning to the applicants. Complicating this process, we have diverse competencies or skills to evaluate the candidates for a vacancy, which can be modeled as a multicriteria problem. In this article, we propose a multicriteria approach to solve instances of personnel selection problem. For that, we use a software called SADGAGE, which solves instances of the multicriteria ranking problem with decreasing preferences direction about the preferences of a decision maker.
