AHP approach for employee recruitment with COVID-19 situation in Thailand

With the COVID-19 situation being unlike the usual, selecting an appropriate person for a job position requires the criteria and weight of each criterion be determined and adjusted to suit the crisis. The criteria chosen in this work are emphasised on selecting applicants who, while studying, have been in the midst of the COVID-19 situation. In this research, we employ analytic hierarchy process to assist the committee to have an agreement. In this study, each person in the committee can have his/her own pairwise comparison matrix of the criteria with a three-level hierarchical model. Some ambiguity may occur when initiating a hierarchical model; therefore, in this work, the criteria used in the three-level model are properly adjusted to create a four-level hierarchical model. The comparison inspected, provide some guidance in both theoretical manner and applications.
