AB  - Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) is one of the methods that popularly has 
      been used in solving personnel selection problem. Alternatives, criteria, and 
      weights are some of the fundamental aspects in MCDM that need to be defined 
      clearly in order to achieve a good result. Apart from these aspects, fuzzy data 
      has to take into consideration that it may arise from unobtainable and incomplete 
      information. In this paper, we propose a new approach for personnel selection 
      problem. The proposed approach is based on Hamming distance method with 
      subjective and objective weights (HDMSOW's). In case of vagueness situation, 
      fuzzy set theory is then incorporated onto the HDMSOW's. To determine the 
      objective weight for each attribute, the fuzzy Shannon's entropy is considered. 
      While for the subjective weight, it is aggregated into a comparable scale. A 
      numerical example is presented to illustrate the HDMSOW's.
