Multi-criteria decision-making methods have been developed to help people or managers in the decision-making process and make the right decision. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is one of the most frequently used multi-criteria decision-making methods and is used in situations where the decision-makers’ objective and subjective decisions need to be evaluated together. This study explains the application of the AHP method in personnel selection in Excel. AHP is an easily applicable method for solving complex problems. In this study, the problem of decision-making of nurses who apply to the intensive care nursing certificate program is handled. The AHP method was used in the solution to the problem. The three nurses have been selected by considering the criteria determined by the training officer who organized the certificate program among the nurses who applied to the program by ranking. The use of AHP in addition to the traditional method at every stage of human resources planning will contribute to the personnel selection process and the efficiency of health service delivery.
