We are suggesting that the dimension of Analysis/Problem Identification is required for most recruiters. Analysis/Problem Identification is a key competency as it explores securing relevant information and identifying key issues and relationships from a base of information; relating and comparing data from different sources; identifying cause-effect relationships.
