The invention provides a personnel evaluation model generation method and apparatus. The method comprises the steps of firstly, generating a plurality of personnel categories according to personnel data samples; secondly, obtaining index metadata used for evaluating the personnel of the categories from an index metadatabase according to different data of different categories; and finally, setting a weight of each piece of the index metadata, and generating a personnel evaluation model. It can be understood that the index metadata is selected according to different attributes of the personnel categories, and the weights of the index metadata are subjected to different setting according to different categories, so that the method provided by the invention can be used for performing evaluation of different standards for the personnel of the different categories to enable evaluation results to scientific and just. In addition, the evaluation results are all results calculated according to the index metadata and the weights of the index metadata, so that compared with an existing artificial evaluation method, the method provided by the invention has the advantages that the interference of artificial subjective factors can be eliminated, so that objective and accurate personnel evaluation results can be obtained.
