 Introduction
 The term “talent” is defined with different aspects by theoreticians and experts in organizations. In act each organization identifies the characteristics of talented people according to its culture and structure. Employing and attracting talented people is not an easy case, and each organization must define its specific talent profile on order to get the best result. In some cases good opportunities are provided for capable people with high potentials and good internal talent to improve their talents, and if this individuals recognize their optimum talent well, both the society and themselves would benefit. Recognition of these talents also includes creating opportunities, supporting and having commitment. Talent recognition is generally being carried out as a stereotype process, and is limited in the cultural and social structure (Paula and Victoria, 2017). The resource of talented people is considered as a driving force for innovation and also the economic growth. Although scientific talent in people such as students, professors and researchers is considered to be a small part, but it has an increasing importance in the development of human resources and creation of knowledge based economy (Christian Reiner ,c, , Susanne Meyer b, Sascha Sardadva, 2017). Talent management means the integration of resources, processes and designed values to attract and engage key talents for moving toward the business goals (Hajimir and Arabghalam, 2010).Many organizations today are facing the talent crisis, due to reasons such as loss of available talents, several difficulties to keep the outstanding talent, high expenses of staff`s shifting, and human resources strategies (Philip and Roper,2009). Recent investigations of 40 worldwide companies, have shown all of them have the problem of lacking talent management strategies , which causes loss of suitable staff to fit the strategic organizational positions, and this would limit the company`s capability to grow( Collings and Mellahi, 2009). Generally the  talent management is of high importance according to different theoreticians that we would introduce them briefly. First of all the effective implementation of talent management leads to successful obtaining and retaining talents. Secondly these people would be chosen and prepared for the future key positions (Hughes & Rog, 2008). Thirdly, talent management guarantees that organizations would successfully obtain and keep their required talents. Fourth, talent management helps the nomination and introduction of staffs (Collings, D. & Mellahi, 2009). Thus according to the above mentioned issues, this study aims to find answers to the following questions: 1) what are the components and indicators related to each of the talent management of human resources? 2) what are the appropriate model for talent management with approach to integrating human resources activities? 3) How are the priorities in relation to each other?
