Forbes has an article up about how companies are creating different job titles to improve retention and morale like "Director of Chaos" or "Chief Trouble Maker"
In some cases it's less about money and more the way your title makes you feel about your work. Consider Chris Young, founder of The Rainmaker Group in Bismark, N.D., an employee relations company. Young's team helps employees find purpose in what they do. One way they accomplish that is by asking employees to think about what their job titles mean. "If I say, 'Your job title is a phone operator. How would you answer that phone? Like a phone operator. If I say, you're the Director of First Impressions, you know the way you answer the phone matters. You're going to answer the phone differently.'"
I wish that title were the norm for switchboard operators because every time one was rude or snotty you could say "Hey, you're not making a very good first impression". "Now give me all the names of your sales people!"
I think whomever is in charge of recruiting should be called "Chief Treasure Hunter" because people are your greatest resource, right? And therefore they are like treasure.....
You should come with some cool titles as well and leave them in the comments section.
It goes without saying that this type of nonsense wreaks havoc on names sourcers.
