Abstract
A scientific and efficient talent evaluation system is a core element for building a powerful country. This study systematically reviews and compares foreign talent evaluation systems (e.g., tenure-track system, peer review, developmental evaluation, "horse-racing mechanism"), summarizing their advanced experiences in systematic evaluation and support mechanisms. It also sorts out five evolutionary stages of China's talent evaluation system since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, exposing the dilemma between overemphasis on scholar practice and insufficient assessment of potential innovation capabilities.Through comparative analysis of domestic and international practices, three key optimization paths are proposed: constructing an innovation capability framework, formulating comprehensive evaluation criteria integrating explicit and implicit indicators, and adopting dynamic evaluation mechanisms, so as to provide theoretical and practical support for the reform of China's talent development mechanisms.
