Talent management (TM) is of increasing priority to organisational leaders, who struggle to develop and implement effective programmes or practices for managing talent. Despite the given emphasis on organisational talent management, changes in workforce preferences have altered the way employees approach their careers. Many are more likely to take proactive roles in formulating their career plans in pursuit of inter- and intra-organisational transition. This being the case, what is aimed at in the execution of organisational TM practices and efforts to implement these initiatives may not necessarily be aligned with individuals having boundaryless career orientations. Accordingly, this paper is aimed at investigating the challenging issues to be considered in formulating organisational TM practices at the time of managing boundaryless employees. In doing so, we will simultaneously try to address how organisational talent management practices might be reconciled with boundaryless career orientations through the lens of strategic fit and flexibility in human resource management (HRM).
