The problem of searching a group of experts to solve cross-domain problems remains an important problem in many applications. An automated expert search can make human resource management more efficient and reduce the number of problems. The paper presents a method of expert group formation for joint task performing. This method checks each available expert who can participate in task performing and sifts out the least effective of them. During this checking it forms several groups of experts and sorts them by their optimality based on their proficiency level, cost and influence of experts on each other. The method is implemented and approbated in a competence management system developed earlier.
