Abstract
The personnel selection is a vital activity for companies and multivalued neutrosophic sets MVNSs can denote the fuzziness and hesitancy in the processes of the personnel selection The extant fuzzy TODIM an acronym in Portuguese of interactive and multicriteria decisionmaking methods take advantage of distance to denote the difference between two fuzzy sets FSs Nevertheless the distance measurement which ignores the included angle between two FSs cannot comprehensively reflect the difference between two FSs To cover this defect a projectionbased TODIM method with MVNSs for personnel selection is established to consider the risk preference of decisionmakers and overcome the defect of the extant fuzzy TODIM methods The proposed TODIM method makes use of an improved comparison method which overcomes the deficiency of extant comparison method Furthermore a projectionbased difference measurement is defined and utilized in the projectionbased TODIM method We conduct a numerical example of the personnel selection to explain the application of the projectionbased TODIM method and discuss the influence of the parameter Finally the proposed method is compared with several extant methods to verify its feasibility
