“The Ambient People team are strong, professional, personable, extremely knowledgeable and have established a fantastic recruitment business in a very short space of time. Very well respected and strong reputation. I'm proud to be working with you! Max has always communicated and kept me fully up to date. He supported my recruitment and appointment by fully understanding what I could bring to the role and having a great understanding of the organisation and individuals within it. ”
“I felt well supported during the recruitment process and the onboarding process. Everything worked seamlessly and there was no concern at all. The support at beginning was also really good and it made settling down easier. ”
“Overall, the management of the hiring process was smooth and efficient and the roles I was put forward for matched my skills and experience. The engagement from the Ambient people was excellent and Max’s communication was always clear and supportive.”
“I have had the pleasure working with Liam as both a client and an interim for the last 3 years. The service that Ambient People and Liam in particular have provided has been excellent. He has a very good understanding of the local authority sector and is well connected with decision makers in many councils. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“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.”
“Great experience! Ambient People are wonderful to work for, they are professional and very supportive. They take the time to ensure that the organisation and interim are the right match for a good work experience. ”
“I can honestly say that Ambient People are completely outside the norm of recruitment companies. Max interviewed me with a genuine intention of wanting to understand my situation and what I was in search of. After our first chat, I was not left feeling like I was part of a numbers game and communication has since been easy, regular and honest throughout my assignment. Onboarding and internal processes of Ambient People are efficient and secure and I know the support will continue into the future. ”
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
