description Organizations comprise a key aspect that administrators should deal with on a daily basis: human talent. It is fundamental and promotes loyalty, growth, and social and financial profitability. This qualitative research addressed the question “What situations do SMEs face regarding human talent?” For that purpose, six human talent models and a strategy enhanced the theoretical approach. The method adopted a categorical system based on two study variables: exogenous with two subcategories and endogenous with two other subcategories. The instrument to collect information comprised ten structured interviews conducted at organizations in Medellín. The data were analyzed with the software Atlas ti version 7.5.10. By means of a hermeneutic analysis, it was concluded that the organizations under study lack human resource management, a task supported exclusively by the management. Such organizations only require employees with operational skills and recruitment is based on referrals. Besides, incipient training processes and no education or promotion plans were found.
