Abstract

The work environment is increasingly competitive and dynamic, this makes skills crucial in a job candidate. However, the qualities and their various characteristics influence the selection profile. The purpose of this article is to provide an illustration of using correspondence analysis to present a visual and easily understandable view of comparative characteristics in profiles. The document aims to contextualize the importance and skills that require a candidate for a job; and second, to illustrate their relative positioning among specific attributes that contribute significantly across a wide variety of job roles. The approach consists of using correspondence analysis (n=105) and constructing a graph in which two dimensions are preserved. The technique represents the rows and columns of a frequency table to obtain a joint representation. The findings present in order the qualities most valued in candidates for administrative positions: experience, problem solving, financial knowledge, reasoning, charisma, database management, accounting knowledge, and communication. Which means offering training and practical support to enhance a candidate's potential.
