Millions of people around the world are admitted every day to different types of organizations. The management of this process requires the dedication of trained professionals to integrate new members into organizations.

The methodology used relationship information obtained on social networks to analyze according to mathematical techniques of graph theory centrality. As a result, the research selected as facilitators the most well-connected people within the group considering the analysis of different graph centrality indicators.
