This study aims to carry out trainee recruitment by means of the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method being from one of the multi criteria decision making methods in a furniture factory. For this purpose, it was guaranteed by the enterprise that a student shall be hired as a CNC operator before the internship and this was notified to trainees in advance. Three students having satisfied the preconditions of enterprise were started the internship. The students were subjected to the evaluation at the end of training course and the most successful trainee among them was accepted for the job.
