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.

“Ambient People is a personable and friendly agency. I have disliked the approach of some larger agencies in that often they seem to not really know much about who they are talking to, or where they try to pressure you to take a job that you are not interested in. I don't like the over-sell of a job, and I prefer to feel that I am getting a more honest view. I feel that Andy has been straight forward and down-to-earth about everything which is something I have always appreciated. ”

Krupa

“Ambient People offer a more friendly and personal approach to recruitment than other agencies; looking after individual interests and providing support and advice not only at the start of the recruitment process but throughout the placement.  ”

“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. ”

Yinka

“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. ”

“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. ”

“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
