Answer 1

Answer: Option A

In this case the company Einstein Inc requires highly qualified employees to improve the business position of the company. Jacob has to consider the employees with core competencies. Core competencies are necessary for the employees to more efficiently perform their work.

Core competencies include the professional knowledge like the technical skills and also the behavioral  traits such as leadership skills, personality, management skills etc. By hiring employees with core competencies is significant than just recruiting employees with college degree.
