“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. ”

“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. ”

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.

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
