Attention to Detail
The dimension of Attention to Detail is required for most recruiters. The reason Attention to Detail is important is that it determines how candidates accomplish tasks through concern for all areas involved, no matter how small. They show concern for all aspects of the job, accurately checking processes and tasks and maintaining watchfulness over a period of time.
