“I am grateful for all the support and help from Josh in securing my first interim position. From start to finish, Josh has been amazing in making the recruitment process as smooth as possible by always being available and keeping me updated. He helped me with interview prep, negotiating the offer and through all the compliance checks. I would highly recommend Josh and Ambient People.”
“Ambient People made the recruitment process really simple, quick and straightforward achieved through face-to-face meetings and regular conversations not just from Liam, but from the whole team who were aware of my situation. Andy was on hand to discuss my role throughout the assignment and the social event was a great opportunity to meet the whole team. ”
“I'm proud to be represented by Ambient People who are thoroughly professional and very well organised. Their sector knowledge combined with their rock solid integrity puts them firmly in the top tier of agencies. ”
“I was recommended Ambient People by a work colleague in sourcing my first interim assignment in local authority finance, and I can confirm they have proven to be everything and more than you would want from a professional recruitment agency. They have been a critical friend, sharing my journey. Overall, I am very pleased with the support and service and will be looking to Ambient in securing my next contract.”
“I can’t thank Max enough for his incredible support. Max’s responsiveness and regular check-ins have been reassuring. The onboarding process was smooth and well-structures, providing everything I needed to get started. The team’s dedication has made all the difference especially as a first-time interim.”
“The team at Ambient People have been excellent from start to finish with both my current and former interim assignments. Most importantly they ensured that the fit between me and the organisation was right. They have taken the time to get to know me, my personality, strengths and work preferences, and were also able to provide me with a good overview of the organisation and the hiring manager. Ambient People will always be my agency of choice. ”
“Ambient People has been extremely supportive of me in achieving my goal of returning to working in the Public Sector again, after having left the previous authority nearly ten years ago. I will ever be very grateful for their help and support and to Max for boosting my confidence in securing the first role. ”
Values and Principles
We picked these values carefully. They speak to who we are, what we care about, and what we are striving to be.
Take responsibility
We are supposed to be the expert on the hiring journey, so we have to own it – whether it goes right or wrong.
Earn trust
Networks thrive on trust; it’s hard earned, and easily lost.
Seek Improvement
Our willingness to learn is the difference between where we are now, and the potential we have.
Drive Success
Results matter. We are an ambitious lot, and we’re OK with that.
Finally, we’ve got one more guiding principle. It is born from how we want to treat people, and to balance confidence with humility.
respect everyone + back yourself
