GLOBAL TALENT MANAGEMENT IN A MULTINATIONAL COMPANY IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

Talent management involves the selection, recruitment, onboarding, development, retention, renewal of analysis and overall planning human resources. To this end, attracting and retaining the right talent are key factors for ensuring company success in the competitive landscape of the global economy (Collings and Mellahi, 2009). The aim of this study is to show the overall talent management process of a company through the different phases of detection, development, assessment and confirmation. To this end, this research uses an in-depth case study approach based on the analysis of a company that works in the development, manufacture and logistic distribution of automotive vehicles. The results show that the company has understood the importance of managing talent in a global and systematic way (Tarique and Schuler, 2010) because it has generated a talent pool, offered multiple ways of professional development and promoted intra-and inter-area mobility based on observations by multiple evaluators (managers from the candidate's area and other areas). The methodology implemented by the company is innovative in three areas: 1) self-nomination, 2) on the job evaluation, and 3) assessment by multiple evaluators.
