Abstract: In the context of globalization and in circumstances that have generated an economic competitiveness, organizations in the field of I.T. from Romania are in particularly opportune situations in terms of recruiting, selecting, retaining and developing talent. Talent effectively contributes to organizational success, which is why we are justified in saying that it can be the “lifeline” for any organization in the context of globalization. Regarding the evolution of the concept of talent management, the starting point can be found in the organizational context through the McKinsey consulting group, which later attracted the attention of academic theorists. In the desire of McKinsey consultants to emphasize the role of human resources in organizational success, the war for talent formula appeared. Recruiting, retaining and developing talent is a significant issue, which is why organizations have started investing in overcoming related issues and implementing talent management strategies. Talent management is recognized as a priority so that organizations in the field of I.T. are faced with this challenge to develop talent management systems that lead to the progress of the organization or produce its performance. Talent cannot be copied and is what creates value for the organization.What we can clearly state at this moment is the fact that talent management is a determining factor that supports the field of human resources. Success depends on the organization in the relationship with the existing human resource, in keeping, motivating and developing it according to its potential. In this research we proposed an analysis of the relationship between talent management practices and the personal and career development of the individual in organizations in the field of I.T. from Romania. Thus, the purpose of the research is to identify how employees in this field perceive their professional development within organizations. In the research methodology, I formulated the research objectives and hypotheses, described the research methods, instruments and sample. The analysis of the results was carried out with the help of the Qualtrics XM Survey platform, and the statistical analysis with the help of the SPSS program (version 22.0), by transferring the data from the Qualtrics XM Survey platform.
