The recruitment process for video editing staff is a strategic stage in ensuring the quality of professional and competitive content production. However, candidate assessment often faces challenges of subjectivity and inaccuracy in decision-making when evaluators rely solely on intuitive judgment without a measured approach. This study aims to develop a decision support system based on Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) by integrating the Entropy method for objective determination of criteria weights and the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method in calculating the preference values of alternatives. Five evaluation criteria are used in the selection process, namely Editing, Creativity, Experience, Discipline, and Teamwork, with the final weights obtained through the Entropy method being 0.2867, 0.2248, 0.2573, 0.0685, and 0.1626. The study results show that the SAW method is capable of processing candidate evaluation scores comprehensively based on these weights, producing final scores that indicate the best candidates, namely Eko Firmansyah (0.986), Indra Mahendra (0.9699), and Candra Wijaya (0.9662) as the three candidates with the highest eligibility. This study demonstrates that the integration of the Entropy–SAW method is effective in creating a selection mechanism that is objective, transparent, and scientifically accountable, thus making a significant contribution to decision-making in the field of human resource managementDownloads
