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 were exactly what I wanted and needed from an agency when venturing into the interim market for the first time; pragmatic, professional, knowledgeable, genuinely friendly and (most importantly to me) honest- a refreshing approach with a great ethos and upheld values. ”

Dom

“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. ”

Jon

“I have had the pleasure working with Liam as both a client and an interim for the last 3 years.  The service that Ambient People and Liam in particular have provided has been excellent.  He has a very good understanding of the local authority sector and is well connected with decision makers in many councils. ”

Jonathan

“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. ”

Nishil

“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. ”

Rachel

“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. ”

Andy

“I had a pleasant experience working with the Ambient People team. Josh was really helpful throughout the whole process and provided me with the suppose and information needed. He was always available and supportive, making sure the whole process ran smoothly. ”

Arsell

“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. ”

Paul

“I am grateful for all the support and help from Josh in securing my first interim position. From start to finish, Josh has been amazing in making the recruitment process as smooth as possible by always being available and keeping me updated. He helped me with interview prep, negotiating the offer and through all the compliance checks. I would highly recommend Josh and 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
