Background: This research is located in the broader body of literature that explains how aspects of human resource such as talent management are a product of organisational capability or a capability in itself. Aim: The primary goal of the study is to examine how Swedish firms enact global talent management to attract and retain international talent by looking at the strategies and capabilities they have built. Methodology: The study adopts a descriptive approach in comparing the different practices across the presented case studies. A pre-study with expert interviews is conducted to refine the research objectives and organise themes. We conducted qualitative case studies on three Swedish multinational firms through semi structured interviews. Findings: The findings of this study make a modest contribution by highlighting the difficulties and opportunities associated with keeping international students within the framework of the Swedish economy. It suggests an approach that looks at talent management holistically, borrowing from the concept of thinking in systems. With the help of this study, it is hoped that Swedish businesses and other stakeholders will be able to better understand the capabilities and methods for retaining international students.
