This paper presents an Applicant Recruitment System using fuzzy logic. It focuses on the selection or recruitment of suitable applicants ranking them from the most suitable, using the ministry of works Bayelsa State in Nigeria as case study.

The system developed is a more flexible and reliable automated system in the field of personnel recruitment that will quickly enable personnel managers to easily assess and recruit most suitable applicants for a given job based on some weighted fuzzy scores depending on certain criteria attached to the job applied for and the qualification needed to obtain such position.
