“And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?”
So Pharaoh asked them: can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God? Pharaoh's rhetorical question is the most important thing said about Joseph in the entire narrative: one in whom is the spirit of God. The pagan king identifies the source of Joseph's gifts as the spirit of God. The application: the person in whom the spirit of God is at work is recognizable to those outside the covenant. Pharaoh sees what Joseph has.
