Personal reflection
Talent management
Talent management is an organized process to identify the unoccupied job position, hiring the
appropriate candidate, developing required skills and raise the knowledge of the candidate to
align with the position and retain maximum benefit (Scullion & Collings, 2011). It aids in
gaining efficient and effective performance, raising company’s reputation and retaining fine
talent and strengthening the human capital structure (Vaiman et al., 2012).
I have personally observed the process of talent management in the SME. It is a complex
process but it enables the organization to place right person at the right job (Kehinde,
2012). This will be understood by QUAD theory of talent management. It involves four
stages:
Planning: It involves identifying, defining, setting the criteria based on required capabilities.
My organization has set the criteria for recruiting a team leader in my organization.
Acquiring: The authority undertakes strategies to attract the talent. They have advertised the
job posting on social media websites.
Developing: The organization offers opportunities for the career development of the
candidates. It enables the organization to raise learning and develop new skills among the
candidates. My organization has offered finance classes to upgrade the skills.
Training: The organization offers long term incentives, flexible and positive work
environment. My organization has offered me training via mentoring training program.
Thus, QUAD theory of talent management is highly beneficial approach of talent
management.
