Headhunter. Sheikhs, Japes and Questionable Deals

What do Russian mobsters, Swiss roll factories, Buckingham Palace, and a headhunter from Barnsley have in common?Matt Foster.In Headhunter: Sheikhs, Japes and Questionable Deals, Foster pulls back the curtain on a career that took him from pint-soaked Yorkshire pubs to the gilded offices of London's elite and the sunbaked chaos of Dubai. Along the way, he dodged more than a few bullets - sometimes metaphorical, sometimes less so - while building (and occasionally blowing up) a life in the cutthroat world of international recruitment.This is not your typical business memoir. It's outrageous, funny, and deeply personal. One moment you'll be laughing at the absurdity of negotiating with oligarchs over cakes, the next you'll be moved by raw reflections on family, loss, and the pursuit of redemption.With a storyteller's wit and an eye for the ridiculous, Foster shares the deals gone wrong, the friendships that endured, and the hard-won lessons that only come from taking risks most people would run a mile from.If you like memoirs with heart, humour, and a dash of danger, this book is for you. Think Anthony Bourdain meets Bill Bryson, but with fewer recipes and more questionable business cards.
