Abstract

This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of several AI-based candidate selection methodologies, including CRITIC-WASPAS, TOPSIS, and PROMETHEE, to provide organizations with actionable insights for optimizing their recruitment processes. As AI continues to transform traditional recruitment methods, the choice of an appropriate AI-based tool is crucial for achieving desired outcomes in terms of selection accuracy, time efficiency, and fairness. The study evaluates these methodologies across different industries—technology, healthcare, finance, and creative sectors—as well as various job types, including technical, managerial, and creative roles. By systematically comparing key performance metrics, the study highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each method in different contexts. Sensitivity analysis further explores the robustness of these methodologies in response to changes in input parameters, such as the weighting of selection criteria. The findings offer a nuanced understanding of the trade-offs associated with each AI-based recruitment method, guiding organizations in selecting the most suitable tools for their specific needs. This research contributes to the broader discourse on AI in recruitment by providing evidence-based recommendations that align with both organizational goals and ethical considerations.
