There'll be a number of BBC staff looking to change their calling cards, after the revelation that DG Tim Davie has decided to ban the use of the word 'talent'.
Speaking to Nick Robinson on Radio 4's Today programme this morning, Tim opined “We often refer to people like yourself as ‘talent’ but I’ve kind of banned that. You’re a presenter, I’m a leader of an organization, and we’re here to serve.”
A little prowl round existing job titles reveals:
Head of Talent Acquisition - News
Director of Talent and Skills, BBC Commissioning
Football Talent Lead
Global Head of Talent Acquisition, Talent & D&I
Senior Talent Acquisition Business Partner - Executive Search
Director of Talent and Skills, BBC Commissioning
Football Talent Lead
Global Head of Talent Acquisition, Talent & D&I
Senior Talent Acquisition Business Partner - Executive Search
Senior International Talent Acquisition Advisor
And then there are whole departments: "TalentWorks is a content label within @bbcstudios aimed at identifying forward thinking talent with whom it can partner."
