I am both awe-struck and sceptical of artificial intelligence.
The potential is awe-inspiring, and it’s clear that in a few years we’ll be doing things very differently thanks to AI-powered tools.
I’m sceptical because I’m buried in emails and articles claiming that I should be using this or that AI tool to revolutionise my business right now… even though the current state of AI tends to produce images of people with three hands, and jokes that even my dad would avoid telling.
The big question when using AI for your business is where the ‘intelligence’ comes from. ChatGPT and her classmates have gained much of their knowledge from the internet, which is too generic (and sometimes flat out wrong) for when you need expert advice to inform critical decisions.
But when Greg Savage messaged me to say he’d come up with a better way to use AI, I took notice. First of all, because he’s Greg Savage. But also because he’s solved the problem of where the intelligence comes from, at least if you’re in recruitment and looking for proven advice from a source you trust.
Greg’s solution is to train an AI chatbot on the huge experience and knowledge of… Greg Savage.
Greg is one of the top experts in our industry, and surely the most prolific in sharing his thoughts in blog posts, books, videos, podcasts, and now his Savage Recruitment Academy. By putting all that information into a chatbot, any recruiter can now tap into Greg’s brain and find his solution to your specific question.
I’d recommend checking out Greg’s 90 second video demonstrating ‘The Savage Coach’ to see what it looks like when you can access all the information in Greg’s brain.
The Savage Coach is free to all subscribers of the Savage Recruitment Academy. If you’re not already a subscriber, Greg has offered 15% off the Academy to you as a reader of my ‘Added Value’ emails.
You can learn more about what you get with the Academy (including Greg’s brain at your fingertips) and claim your discount here.
Early in my recruitment career I would visit The Savage Truth website every week to check for Greg’s latest blog post. Those blogs shaped my views on everything from retainers to the value of recruitment.
The idea you can now get Greg Savage’s knowledge by simply typing a question into a text box blows my mind.
Let me know how you get on!

P.S. When it comes to AI, my view is that if you’re creating more value for your clients then you should be charging higher fees (more on that in future posts).
However, you might have spotted that Greg isn’t charging any more for his Savagely-smart AI bot… so I recommend you make the most of it before he changes his mind.
