The Twelfth Malaysia Plan (12MP) aimed at revitalizing the economy to restore the financial well-being of the people and comprehensively rejuvenate and strengthen the overall national economic growth. In line with the prominent national agenda, this paper aims to investigate talent management and its relationships with the performance of state government employees in Malaysia. When employees are motivated, skilled, and engaged, they are better able to work towards the company's objectives, improving job performance. Hence, talent management was identified to model its impact on state government employee performance in Malaysia. To gather data, survey questions from earlier studies are incorporated and modified. The 385 state government samples and SPSS version 22 are used for the data analysis. The study results show that talent management, recruitment, and retention significantly affect company performance. This helps those in charge of human resource management to appreciate the situation and decide how best to promote employee advancement.
