Why is it important?

The search for and development of talent is one of the most critical issues in todays management. We provide theoretical implications coupled with practical implications for HR practitioners concerned about meeting targets for the recruitment of talent.

Perspectives

We found that a company's need for certain groups of high potentials (e.g., clinical development professionals), the scarcity of certain valuable employee groups, and HR personnel's capabilities and attitudes are key determinants of the implementation of analytical instruments, such as market analysis, segmentation and targeting.
