Coworking spaces are flexible and shared work environments that make a significant effort to connect users with supportive networks that commonly result in efficient work outputs, a high level of collaboration and knowledge transfer. Recent years have seen swift growth and popularisation of the coworking model, making these spaces an integral part of local entrepreneurial ecosystems and transforming them into the localised pools of specialised talent. However, little research has been conducted to understand the role of human talent in coworking spaces, indicating a knowledge gap in human resource management and the role of contemporary coworking environments. Therefore, the purpose of the following paper is to contextualize coworking spaces as (local) talent hubs by investigating how they tend to build their identity on their userbase. The manuscript explores the managerial practices and mediation techniques by presenting empirical evidence and subsequent analysis of talent attraction and retention mechanisms commonly used in coworking environments. The study shows that by facilitating interaction and collaboration between users, coworking spaces offer support throughout the business life cycle and identify themselves as local accelerators of entrepreneurship and talent development within their local environments.

联合办公空间是灵活且共享的工作环境，致力于将用户与支持性网络联系起来，通常会产生高效的工作产出、高水平的协作和知识转移。近年来，联合办公模式迅速发展和普及，使这些空间成为当地创业生态系统不可或缺的一部分，并将其转变为本地化的专业人才库。然而，很少有研究了解人才在联合办公空间中的作用，这表明人力资源管理和当代联合办公环境的作用存在知识差距。因此，以下论文的目的是通过调查共享办公空间如何在用户群中建立自己的身份，从而将联合办公空间情境化为（本地）人才中心。该手稿通过提供经验证据和随后分析联合办公环境中常用的人才吸引和保留机制来探索管理实践和调解技术。研究表明，通过促进用户之间的互动和协作，联合办公空间可以在整个商业生命周期中提供支持，并将自己定位为当地环境中创业和人才发展的当地加速器。
