THE AHP APPROACH IN SELECTING CANDIDATES FOR THE POSITION OF STRATEGIC PLANNING MANAGER

Over the last few decades, strategic planning has been associated to organisation performance. This means that each organization needs ‘’right’’ person (or persons) on the position of strategic planning manager. Therefore, one of the tasks of Human Resource Management (HRM) is to select this ‘’right’’ candidate according to some criteria. The main idea of this study is to present the usefulness of multicriteria decision-making methods (MCDM) for selecting the most appropriate candidate for the position of Strategic Planning Manager. The applied method is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), as one of the most popular MCDM methods. The results show that this quantitative method can assist managers to effectively evaluate candidate’s overall suitability for the mentioned position.
