This research explores cross-cultural differences in skill requirements for the emerging HR analyst role. We extract data from 541 HR analyst job postings across six countries and use Python software to conduct competency-based text analysis. We also employ LDA (latent Dirichlet allocation) topic modeling technique to contrast our results. Our text analysis and dictionary creation are guided by a recently published competency model for the HR analyst role. We thus evaluate the practicality and applicability of such a competency model in a cross-cultural context. Although we find significant differences in competency weightings across our sample, these differences cannot be explained by cultural theory. Power distance and individualism predicted competency related text in a unified manner. The associations observed between uncertainty avoidance and competency-related text were counterintuitive. Our findings contribute to the scarce literature exploring cross-cultural job design and further advance the discussion on HR analyst competencies. Implications for cultural theory and job design are discussed
