Working Lives: Head of talent
What does the job involve?
I source the off-screen talent for productions across Arrow Media and Arrow Pictures, including runners, researchers, assistant producers, directors, series producers and executive producers. I also recruit people to permanent positions in the company; we have about 25 core staff. My role includes all aspects of HR.
Do you recruit on-screen talent?
No, talent agencies and broadcasters tend to look after the on-screen talent.
