The paper presents a comparative analysis of talent management in enterprises of the Visegrad Group - V4 (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary). It is based on the results of quantitative research (survey) carried out in 2013. On a sample of 550 enterprises in the international research project "Integrated Talent Management - Challenge and Future for Organisations in the Visegrad Countries" (International Visegrad Fund Standard Grant No. 21220142, 01 / 2013-12 / 2013). The results of the study showed that the V4 countries differ from one another in terms of the level of implementation of activities related to talent management. These differences can be reported in all evaluated areas: talent management strategy formulation, identification, recruitment, evaluation, motivating and supporting the development of talents and promote their retention. Analysis of the survey results shows that Polish companies are lagging behind in terms of talent management, and a leader in this area proved to be companies operating in Hungary.
