Talent Management coordinates the recruitment, development, deployment, and retention of an organisation's team in an effort to maximise the capability and capacity of that organisation.

The first refers to how a Talent Management strategy adopted by a company is imperative, not just because it focuses on productivity, but also because it is dynamic and proactive in comparison to traditional reactive hiring processes.
The second article approaches Talent Management from a candidates perspective, encouraging candidates to not only excel in their chosen career path, but also how they can prosper by becoming the 'Talent' that successful companies want to hire - no matter what the cost.
