ABSTRACT As organizations navigate complex and rapidly changing business environments, talent management research has become paramount in understanding and leveraging employee capabilities to drive organizational success. This investigative enquiry presents a panoramic overview of talent management research spanning 30 years. A systematic review methodology was employed to analyze the domain's intellectual structure and performance trends using tools from the Bibliometric Analytical Toolbox. Performance analysis, cartographic analysis, thematic evolution, and mapping were conducted with the aid of open‐source and quantitative analysis software such as Bibliometrix‐R and VOSviewer. The findings revealed an exponential increase in the number of yearly publications on talent management. Four themes illuminating the domain's intellectual structure were identified: talent retention, global talent management, turnover intention, and employee engagement . A sense‐making approach was used to identify and elucidate themes. Finally, this review reflects on key implications for policymakers and outlines a comprehensive future research agenda for early‐career academics and researchers.
