The No.1 skill companies are hiring for is also the hardest to find, according to new research

Checking off all the requirements in a job description isn’t enough to land a new role right now — your potential new boss wants to see that you’re disciplined, reliable and care about your work.

“A strong work ethic” is the top skill companies are looking for in new hires, but is one of the hardest to find, according to new research from ADP.

“A strong work ethic” is a nebulous term. But people who embody it are typically punctual, organized, efficient with their time and, most importantly, willing to go the extra mile to get the job done well, per ADP’s research.

Other soft skills employers want include problem-solving, time management and communication.
