Abstract
This paper unpacks the dominant conceptualizations of talent
management (TM) in contemporary academic publications,
and considers these in relation to the increasingly important
workforce population of skilled international migrants. It
postulates that TM approaches are generally built from a
relatively narrow human capital-based perspective wherein
organizations focus on readily accessible and immediate
skills, ignoring the longer term strategic potential of the
international workforce of skilled migrants, particularly
for multinational enterprises and other international
organizations. Through a series of propositions, the paper
highlights how organizations, in strategically using a more
comprehensive TM lens rather than a human capital lens in
approaching the TM of skilled migrants, could benefit from
improved HRM performance over time. It also proposes a
research agenda, by which future studies might test, explore,
and further develop understanding on a more strategic
utilization of skilled migrants in organizations.
