Abstract: This study aims to evaluate current and existing studies in the talent management area and provide potential directions for future research. As the complex interactions between work, workers, and the workplace have become more prevalent, talent management solutions have also evolved to meet these changing patterns. Data was from a bibliometric study of 1,630 articles drawn from the Scopus dataset between 2013 and 2023. Using a methodical bibliometric analysis, this research provides an all-encompassing depiction of the publication patterns in the field of talent management, clarifying conclusions drawn from publication metrics, with the use of the Biblioshiny package in the Bibliometrix tool in R Studio. Additionally, by using VOSviewer for co-citation analysis, this study adds new knowledge. The study ends with a discussion of future research topics that build on the outcomes to put HR issues in the perspective of the modern work paradigm.
