The day after BBC Chief Product Officer Storm Fagan discussed recruitment issues with MPs on the Public Accounts Committee comes an ad for a Senior Product Manager, Search and Navigation. It reads like someone dictated it to a cell phone, then put it through some form of Articial Intelligence engine, and never read it back.
"We’re transforming our Product Teams. We want to ensure that the BBC is the number 1 destination for product. It’s a big dream and we know that we can achieve it but we need to partner with the right people. Come over and trust us with your dreams and ambitions. We’ll take your promise and transform you; offering clear opportunities for professional development and career growth."
"We are the BBC Search & Navigation and we have a remit to help our audience discover the best content, that is most relevant and meaningful to them, by providing them with curated content that caters to their individual needs. It’s so nice of you to drop by! Why not say hi also in your application?"
No wonder search and navigation are such a mess on all BBC websites. Do they ever test them?
