One of the human resource managements’ functions is choosing qualified personnel in accordance with activities of organization. Selecting qualified human resources enables organization to have proper function according to strategic objectives. This paper aims to identify a criteria for selecting employees using Delphi and fuzzy multi-criteria decision making method under uncertainty situation to maximum productivity. Research Method is of development-applied and data collection method is library studies and field data collection using questionnaires and interviews. Population is senior and junior managers of small and medium sized industries in industrial areas in Markazi Province and snowball method was used for sampling. Fuzzy TOPSIS method has been used for data analysis alongside with DLSM group decision-making using MS Excel and PASW Statistics softwares. Reliability of the questionnaire tested by Cronbach's alpha method and its validity determined using content validity. Results identified 15 criteria of “character, discipline, physical characteristics, ethics, literature, intrinsic motivation, lack of criminal record, systems thinking, skill, intelligence, training, experience, age, education, and appropriate referral” in same ranked order.
