Abstract

The paper describes the necessity of application of intelligent technologies to support decision making in human resource management (HRM) problems. The specific features of the personnel selection problem are highlighted, immersing the later into a fuzzy environment. Multi-scenario approach is described for solving the problem of employment, taking into account the importance and in equivalence of the indicators, which characterize the eligible candidates for the post, as well as individual character requirements of employers, at a current time. Experiment results for implementing the problem of selection of personnel based on the proposed method for professionals in information technology (IT) are discussed.
