We are a group of recruiters building a network of talent to help Local Government thrive, by connecting people to opportunities where they can thrive themselves.

“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. ”

Jennifer

“I have been working through Ambient People for about 18 months and in that time I have been able to contact them and when I do I get a response back very quickly and nothing I ask (as a first time worker through an agency) has been too much trouble and any issues resolved by the end of the day. I am very happy to be part of their community. ”

Andrew

“Andy understands the local government interim finance market and, importantly, what the big issues facing the sector are. Andy understands the skills and experiences I have and the assignments I am interested in – leading to 100% good matches for me and the employer. ”

Kevin

“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. ”

Debbie

“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. ”

“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.”

“Ambient People has consistently gone above and beyond in their support. From day one, Andy has been an invaluable resource, offering guidance and assistance that made every step of my journey smooth and stress-free. Their commitment to my success was evident in every interaction, and it significantly contributed to a positive and productive experience. The general contact and engagement with Ambient People has been outstanding. The responsiveness and professionalism displayed, especially by Andy, has made it easy to address any concerns or needs that arose.  ”

Luke

“Andy takes care to ensure you are well matched to any contract he puts you forward for. He is always there for follow up advice checks in to see how the contract is going and works hard to ensure you are happy with everything and resolves any queries you have very quickly. An agent and agency that actually care about their clients. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with him and Ambient People as a whole.”

Susan

“Following a redundancy, Ambient People helped me secure my first interim position, initially for 3 months but 8 months later and an extension further, I’m still in that same position. They were extremely helping and engaging, going that extra mile to explain how the agency market works, exploring options and providing helpful advice. I’ve felt supported throughout my assignment and would have no hesitation in recommending them. ”

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
