Summary/Abstract: The article refers to a proposal of user friendly and easily adaptable tool which can facilitate and enhance HR managers’ decisions in domain of employee recruitment and development. Proposed tool has three main parts: (a) benchmark study of the employee ideal profile, (b) three-layered feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) used for processing benchmark study data and for classification of employees and applicants into two different performance groups and (c) Kohonen Self-Organizing maps enabling visualization of ANN’s generalization gradient. User interface of proposed tool is a set of maps with identical topographical organization but with different vertical profile according to displayed variable. HR managers can read very easily and intuitively from these maps important and useful information which can be directly used in the HR related decision making process.
