Help me write ‘The Savage Truth’ book!

Hello friends and colleagues,

With my 40^th anniversary of joining the recruitment industry fast approaching, I have, after some prodding, made the commitment to write a book.

Collaborating with me on this project are Lesley Horsburgh (writer/editor) and Ross Clennett (contributions co-ordinator).

But I need your help. Especially if we worked together: Accountancy Personnel, Accountancy Placements, Accountancy Careers, Recruitment Solutions, Aquent, Firebrand – or as an Advisor in more recent years.

Or maybe we have collaborated in some other way, and you have stories to tell.

I am requesting your help in the areas of content, and alerting ‘Savage Alumni’ to this project.

Content

The book won’t reach its full potential unless it has other voices making a contribution to the narrative (as well as people reminding me of things I have long forgotten).

Do you have photos and other memorabilia relevant to our shared life in recruitment?

Do you have stories, anecdotes or memorable quotes relevant to this book?

We have established a Google Drive folder for people to upload photos and memorabilia. We will contact you to request your permission if we plan to use your contribution.

For stories, anecdotes and memorable quotes please send them directly to Ross via ross@rossclennett.com as he will be collating them.

Please don’t send them to me directly.

Ross has written an anecdote that you can read here that may help you in constructing any story or anecdote you wish to contribute.

‘Savage alumni’

There are two ways in which you can help me here:

Join our Linkedin Group and/or our Facebook Group, both called The Savage Truth Book (coming in 2020), established to spread the requests, above, far and wide.

The groups will also be used to provide updates on the writing of the book, to advise publication date, how you can order it, the venues and dates for the promotional book tour and other relevant book-related stuff. Please invite any other relevant people to join either, or both, groups.

Tag other relevant people  in the LinkedIn Group and the Facebook Group, so we can generate more banter

My goal is to create a record of 40 years of the recruitment industry, certainly spanning your periods of involvement, but also how the industry itself has evolved. The many, many mistakes I have made will be offered as lessons, and hopefully some of the successful concepts can be shared too.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Best regards

Greg
