“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. ”
“I joined Ambient Peoples Service almost a year ago and I have never looked back in terms of getting interim jobs with them. They have been very supportive through my interim roles and been quick to find me new positions when my previous roles have come to an end. ”
“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.”
“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. ”
“I have worked with Liam and the team at Ambient People for almost two years now and am very pleased to have been able to do so. They are always keen to ensure that I am appropriately placed in assignments for which my skills and experience are ideally matched. I don’t underestimate how difficult it is to do all this, particularly given the large number of client contacts that they deal with on a day-to-day basis, and I will certainly be looking to continue my relationship with Ambient People long into the future. ”
“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 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. ”
“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. ”
“This was my first time entering the interim market and I can say that Ambient People have always listened extremely well and do their best to present roles to me that really fit what I'm after, more so than other agencies in the market. They build great relationships, are all individuals I trust, and I feel I can be open and honest with Ambient People. ”
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
