This study aims to determine the extent to which talent identification is implemented in talent management. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to summarize the application of talent identification in the last six years. Researchers use Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) to process scientific articles. The literature reveals that while topics related to talent management garner significant attention, research on talent identification within talent management remains relatively scarce despite a gradual increase each year. We compared documents indexed by Scopus Q1 and Q2. The results show that the United States accounted for a significant portion of research on talent identification, representing 16% of the total existing research. Researchers have conducted extensive studies on the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, public services, tourism, and hospitality. The number of citations varied greatly from 1 to 93, with a median value of 20. These studies have also used various research methods with different theoretical bases and produced different analyses. This finding enriches the perspective of talent identification.
