Talent management and human resources are essentially two terms for the same practice. Talent management can be used to distance a firm from the historical practices of human resources that tended to treat employees as commodity labor. By viewing employees as talent as opposed to "labor" or "human capital", talent management practices seek to differentiate a firm in a competitive market for skilled employees. In some cases, human resources remains as an administrative practice and talent management is seen as a complimentary practice that handles the human side of things such as organizational culture, recruiting and employee relationships.
