Introduction
In recent years, human resources have been the
centre of attention and Human capital is most
valuable assets of an organization.
Success or failure of a company is mainly related to
various HR activities such as :
Staffing
Development
Performance Management
Compensation and Administration

Theses HR activities has been linked to

Increase productivity,
Good customer service,
Greater profitability and
Overall organization survival

 A successful organization should have a good decision making

system
HR professionals should have very large data bases with useful
information
Current HR decision practices depends on various factors such as
:
Human experience
Knowledge
Preference and
Judgment
To gain efficiency, many organizations have turned to technology
to automate many HR processes.
The increased amount of data in data bases needs new technique
and tool of analysis to extract knowledge from this data
One such useful technique and tool is DATA MINING(DM).
This generates advanced information and decision support within
HR domain

Research

Introduction
in Human Resource (HR) applications

that are
embedded with Artificial Intelligent (AI) techniques can solve
unstructured and indistinct decision making problems.
These applications can help decision makers to solve
inconsistent, inaccurate, inequality and unpredicted
decisions.
In the advancement of AI technology, there are many
techniques that can be used to upgrade the capabilities of
HR application
Todays HR has been linked to
Increased productivity,
Good customer service,
Greater profitability and
Overall organization survival
Data mining involves extracting knowledge based on
patterns of data in very large databases.

 Data mining may be regarded as an evolving approach to data

analysis in very large databases that could become a useful tool to

HR professionals.
Using HR data in decision-making provides a firm with the
opportunity to make more informed strategic decisions.
To gain efficiency, many organizations have turned to technology
to automate many HR processes .
As a result of this automation, HR professionals are able to make
more informed strategic HR decisions.
In reality, current HR decision practices depends on various factors
such as :
Human experience
Knowledge
Preference and
Judgment

Literature Review

Literatures states that different data mining

techniques are used in Human Resource

Management Activities.
Human Resources Activates are followed as
Staffing
Development
Performance Management
Compensation and Administration

Different data mining techniques are used in

personnel selection and retain talents.
