Two-sided matching based on I-BTM and LSGDM applied to high-level overseas talent and job fit problems

Abstract

AbstractWith the increasing number of overseas talent tasks in China, overseas talent and job fit are significant issues that aim to improve the utilization of this key human resource. Many studies based on fuzzy sets have been conducted on this topic. Among the many fuzzy set methods, intuitionistic fuzzy sets are usually utilized to express and handle the evaluation information. In recent years, various intuitionistic fuzzy decision-making methods have been rapidly developed and used to solve evaluation problems, but none of them can be used to solve the person-job fit problem with intuitionistic best-worst method (BWM) and TOPSIS methods considering large-scale group decision making (LSGDM) and evaluator social network relations (SNRs). Therefore, to solve problems of intuitionistic fuzzy information analysis and the LSGDM for high-level overseas talent and job fit, we construct a new hybrid two-sided matching method named I-BTM and an LSGDM method considering SNRs. On the one hand, to express the decision-making information more objectively and reasonably, we combine the BWM and TOPSIS in an intuitionistic environment. Additionally, we develop the LSGDM with optimized computer algorithms, where the evaluators’ attitudes are expressed by hesitant fuzzy language. Finally, we build a model of high-level overseas talent and job fit and establish a mutual criteria system that is applied to a case study to illustrate the efficiency and reasonableness of the model.
