Abstract

Purpose- The purpose of the study is to show that multi-criteria decision-making methods can be used in the recruiting process of non-type rated pilots in the civil aviation sector.
Methodology-In this scope, the criteria taken into consideration by the HR departments in the recruitment process of non-type rated pilots to work in the civil aviation sector have been identified in the study. Then, with the AHP method, importance levels of the criteria have been determined by taking experts opinion. TOPSIS method has been used to select the right candidate for the business among the five candidates who applied as non-type rated pilots.
Findings- Finding of the study has proposed the most suitable candidate for the company.
Conclusion- The effective use of AHP and TOPSIS multi-criteria decision-making techniques in an integrated manner will facilitate HR managers and decision makers in the quantitative evaluation of subjective and objective criteria. The proposed method can also be used in selection processes in other areas of HRM.
