To realize the benefits of HR analytics, HR professionals with analytical skills should be available in considerable number in organizations.

While assessing competencies several models are adapted based on the purpose and availability of resources. In present study, an attempt is made to understand how non-traditional methods such as a fuzzy logic can be useful in assessing competencies. The present study attempts to apply fuzzy logic approach to assess the analytical competencies of HR professionals. A 20-item self-assessment rating scale for analytical competencies was served to HR professionals. An algorithm suitable to apply fuzzy logic was developed. Using triangular fuzzy number approach, the analytical competencies were ranked after defuzzification.
