Blue Collar Personnel Selection for A Manufacturing Company with Fuzzy COPRAS Method Based on Fuzzy PIPRECIA

Abstract

Today, the rapid increase in the competitive environment has made it a complex and strategic decision for companies to select the most suitable candidate for personnel recruitment. For this reason, using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods in this decision problem will provide a quick result. Due to the uncertainty of the criteria, fuzzy PIPRECIA and fuzzy COPRAS methods, which are fuzzy MCDM methods, were used together in the study in order to achieve more effective results. For the evaluation of the criteria and alternatives, three decision makers consisting of HR manager, production manager and shift supervisor were identified. The weights of the six criteria created by utilizing the three decision makers and the literature were calculated with the fuzzy PIPRECIA method and five alternatives were ranked with the fuzzy COPRAS method. Candidates were interviewed through online interviews, which is a common practice today. The most important criterion was K5 (professional competence) and the best alternative was A3. The methods used are unique to the study as they are rarely used together in the literature and have never been used in personnel selection.
