The research problem was related to strengthening the orientation to HRM skills among the aspects that help to better attract, develop, and retain human resources. The research used descriptive analytical approach to fulfill the aim of the research. The study populations were employees in the Salah Al-Din Health Directorate, 260 questionnaires were distributed and 257 were retrieved. The questionnaires were then checked and unsuitable questionnaires were excluded and the number of questionnaires suitable for statistical analysis was (253). It was found that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the two variables as well as a significant effect on the skills-based organization on talent management. The results also revealed significant relationships and effects between the dimensions of the skills-based organization and the dimensions of talent management, which proved that human skills and capabilities play an important role in improving the talent management practice. The research, therefore, provided a set of recommendations, among which the following are particularly significant: enhancing the focus on the skills-based organization, establishing mechanisms for identifying and managing skills, increasing the focus on talent development, and connecting employees' skills with job requirements, all of which helped to better utilize human resources and increase organizational performance.
