This short note is designed to provide unbiased placement practice and to address the “emamadu” syndrome. This note describes a novel job placement model that allows decision makers to select qualified applicants for job placement based on the information provided by job analyst. The model addresses the problem of ties in applicant performance and avoids bias decision during decision making. The model via the control factor allows decision makers to specify the number of qualified applicants to be engaged. The performance benchmark of this procedure is automatically generated based on the applicant’s performance. The comparative performance of this technique and the ranking procedure is investigated. The validation of both techniques revealed that the new procedure solves the problem of tie.
