<![CDATA[Abstract— The selection of qualified teachers is a crucial factor in improving educational quality at Pangkalpinang Baptist School. Subjective selection processes often result in decision-making ineffectiveness. This study aims to analyze the teacher selection system by implementing the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to improve objectivity and accuracy in the decision-making process. The SAW method evaluates candidates based on three criteria: interview performance (30%), academic tests (35%), and micro teaching abilities (35%). Each criterion receives specific weights according to importance levels, followed by calculations to determine candidates with the highest scores. Research results demonstrate that SAW method implementation provides more systematic and transparent decisions in teacher selection. The study evaluated 10 teacher candidates with Eka Sitompul achieving the highest score of 0.85, followed by Fandi Saputra and Vitta Natalia with 0.825 each. This method enables schools to conduct data-based selection, reducing subjectivity in recruitment processes and ensuring selected teaching staff possess competencies aligned with school requirements.
