Abstract
In this research we designed and developed an ontology-driven decision support system (DSS) for (1) electronic recruitment processes in organizations operating in Thailand and for (2) job seekers trying to find appropriate employment in the country. The database holding the job profiles has been designed in accordance with the standards of the Department of Employment (Ministry of Labour, Thailand), and it is used to mutually match the required criteria with the offered properties. For this, a score is calculated from the required properties that gives a percentage based fit rate harnessing the statistical part of the ontology. The DSS can also be used for staffing project teams or preparing for succession through channeling employees to appropriate positions within the company by matching the required and the offered profile data.
