“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

“I joined Ambient People on the recommendation of a friend who was with another agency but had worked with Liam and said he was her preferred agent to work with. The recommendation proved to be correct. My transition from permanent worker to contract worker went very smoothly and if I have had any problems with the admin side of things Liam and his team are always prompt to respond and resolve my queries. ”

Linda

“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

“The team at Ambient People have been excellent from start to finish with both my current and former interim assignments. Most importantly they ensured that the fit between me and the organisation was right. They have taken the time to get to know me, my personality, strengths and work preferences, and were also able to provide me with a good overview of the organisation and the hiring manager. Ambient People will always be my agency of choice. ”

Christine

“Ambient staff have been very approachable, pleasant and always there to support and help me find assignments in a timely manner which meet my needs, including things like flexible working and supportive teams. Once successful, the onboarding and paperwork was done with efficiency and accuracy. ”

Krupa

“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. ”

Adam

“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.  ”

Farid

“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

“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
