Consequently, mobile software industry develops rapidly that makes the shortage of human resources of the industry. Many mobile software development companies have to face the shortage of high-quality of human resources. While recruiting, the employers cannot foresee the performance of the potential employees based on his/her knowledge of specialty. Therefore, this research tries to study the ability scale of the smartphone software engineers based on the study of Ibarra (2010) and others whose competency framework for smartphone software engineers are divided into three dimensions, including skills, social, and personal. This study applies the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the expert decision analysis. Participants of the survey are key experts in the related fields, such as project managers and programmers. Most experts believe that the most important ability in the mobile phone software development process is "social" that means the importance of relationship in the organization. The most five important indicators of abilities among all forty-four evaluation indicators are leadership, ambition, to understand and follow the discussion, analysis, judgment and an extension of the pragmatic solution. Project managers and programmers have different viewpoint on capacity indicators. The former think the actual ability to execute tasks is the most important one. The latter, however, more emphasize on the potential of the individual. The purpose of this study would like to develop the competency framework for smartphone software engineers as the evaluation criteria for recruitment. The result of the survey could be applied as the reference for college plan of the teaching objectives in the related departments.
