Summary/Abstract: Leadership talent management (LTM) is one of the crucial aspects of HRM nowadays, which can decide of an organization success. The first step in building organizationally adapted capital of leaders occurs during onboarding process. The main goal of the article is to identify and explain the differences between the way of leadership talents onboarding before and during COVID-19 pandemic. Research on this topic in MNCs headquartered in Central Europe is innovative and aims to bridge a research gap. The research sample includes 200 non-financial business entities with Polish capital, headquartered in Poland, with local subsidiaries situated abroad. The research was conducted using CATI method. Descriptive, correlation statistics and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), were used to analyze the collected empirical data.A core observation from the empirical research underscores the variance in the approach to onboarding leadership talents before and amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In challenging circumstances, this approach hinges on a multifaceted analysis of leadership dynamics, a deeper understanding of needs, expectations, and behavioral assessments, rather than merely viewing it as a subsequent phase of staffing.
