After teetering on the edge of my seat in wild expectation all last week, I've been told to calm down - there may not be news of a new BBC HR Director until after Easter. Trying to make something out of nothing, I can only speculate that this means negotiations with one (or two ?) outsiders are continuing.
Salary may be an issue. Lucy Adams left, as she started, on a package of £332,900. Reed UK (a supplier of contract staff to the BBC) says the current average UK salary for an HR Director is £90k.
And from an FOI response this week we learn that, as at 28 February 2014, the average full-time equivalent salary of a grade 8 employee within BBC People
was £43,081. This figure includes London Weighting where applicable. Taking London Weighting away, Ms Adams deal, four grades above, was nine times that average.
