[Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of a computer learning, from response data of a past hiring test, which department the responder has been assigned to; and evaluating response data from a newly hired applicant on the basis of the learned result to determine the department to which the applicant is to be assigned and suggest to the person in charge of hiring to assign the applicant to said department. [Solution] In a response data selection system 1, response data received from a responder to a past hiring test and the assigned department to which the responder was assigned is learned, thereby generating department assignment criteria data for selecting the departments to which responders are to be assigned, and the response data received from the new responder is evaluated, on the basis of the department assignment criteria data, to determine the department to which the new responder is to be assigned.
