TALENT POOL

• This talent pool is an opportunity for Commercial & Business Development Executives interested in working with us. It isn’t a live role and doesn’t guarantee you will end up working with us. Talent pools are a chance for us to identify, meet and collate talent so that we can move more quickly and efficiently when opportunities come up.

• You don't have to be available now to apply. You may be working in another role but thinking about a move when the right thing comes up, or perhaps you’ve always wanted to work for BBC Studios. This talent pool is a chance for us to engage with those who want to work with us now or in the future.
• If you are selected our Talent Acquisition team will invite you for a screening call, after that you will be invited to join the talent pool which means you will be considered if/when suitable opportunities come up.
• When we're looking to hire we may approach individuals from the talent pool directly if they have the specific skills and experience required. On other occasions we will send roles to the whole group, or if we feel we need a wider reach, advertise publicly through BBC Careers (those in the talent pool will be welcome to apply).
• If you are informed about an opportunity via the talent pool you will still need to attend an interview or assessment for the role, and most likely enter into a competitive process with other candidates.
  Ultimately, this is an opportunity to start a conversation with us. We’ve carved out dedicated time to read applications and speak with candidates, so if you’re keen to work with us, now’s the time to let us know.
