A review of the applications of multi criteria decision making for personnel selection problem

Personnel selection determines the input quality of personnel, which therefore plays a decisive role in human resource management. Personnel selection problem has been studied extensively. Selecting the best personnel among many alternatives is a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. MCDM and group decision making (GDM) methods have become increasingly popular in decision making for personnel selection. Various decision making approaches have been proposed to solve this problem. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on the application of MCDM techniques in personnel selection problem.
