Talent Management in Public Service

Abstract

In this theoretical essay we deal with a current research area: public talent management. Firstly, we define talent management based on Hungarian and Anglo-Saxon literature. Secondly, we present the effect of the lack of talent in public service. Thirdly, we cite studies that examine the function of talent management in local public service. Fourthly, we present the effect of the lack of talent in Hungarian public service. Moreover, we explain how Hungarian public talent management works. Finally, we suggest some possible methods that could be applied to make public service more attractive for young talents.
