Expert-test mechanism for integrated assessment of candidates in recruitment of personnel

Introduction. In the context of an intensive transition to highly productive technologies, the leaders of modern companies pay special attention to the formation of a team of competent, competent employees. In this regard, the task of creating automated mechanisms for the integrated assessment of candidates for the vacant position of a company, which allows providing real support in making informed personnel decisions, becomes urgent. Aim. To develop a mechanism for a comprehensive assessment of candidates for a vacant position, based on a synthesis of expert information and test results for a test suite specially selected for a particular position. Materials and methods. The proposed mechanism is based on the use of mathematical methods of optimization and processing of fuzzy expert information. At the first stage of the mechanism, a test package is formed that provides coverage of the required qualities of a vacant position. For its implementation, a two-criteria task is proposed with the following criteria: minimizing the number of tests included in the package and maximizing the sum of the degrees of compliance of the test package with the qualities of the position. The problem is solved by the method of weighted sums and the modified method of branches and boundaries. Based on the solution of the problem, a test package is formed, testing on which allows you to formulate private assessments of the qualities of candidates in various linguistic scales. In order to obtain the quantitative value of a comprehensive assessment, experts form a single linguistic scale that allows you to translate test results into fuzzy numbers. To form a comprehensive assessment, a fuzzy modification of the TOPSIS method was chosen. Results. Based on a formalized description of the problem, an expert-test mechanism for a comprehensive assessment of candidates is given, for each stage of which features are described and mathematical methods of implementation are presented. To implement the mechanism in the practical activities of companies, a software package in Python was developed. Conclusion. The mechanism proposed in the work was introduced into the activities of one of the IT companies of Voronezh and was well appreciated by specialists. The paper considers an example of the program for the post of data analyst.
