Abstract
International career paths are rarely ‘linear’. Particularly in the case of self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) and migrant professionals, individual agency is deployed to ‘carve’ an international career to suit their particular motivations and interests, in response to their micro/meso/macro contextual influences. The purpose of this conceptual paper is to explore the potential connections between the deployment of career crafting strategies throughout expatriates’ (both assigned and self-initiated) and skilled migrants’ international careers, at the micro/individual level, with the design/application of Talent Management (TM) and Global Talent Management (GTM) policies at the meso/organisational level.
