“Working with the team at Ambient has been a tremendous experience. As you'd expect, they are open and approachable, but on top of that, they are keen to fully understand you as a candidate and what you want in that next role. They don't try to shoehorn you into a role that isn't right for you. I want to mention the parties as well - they are legendary. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“If you are looking for an agency that doesn't just see you as a source of commission, look no further than Ambient People. The team make sure they get to know you as a person, your likes and dislikes, which helps them put you forward for the right roles. The team are always on hand to assist with any issues that arise and touch base regularly during assignments to ensure all is going well.”
“Having Ambient People as my recruitment agent is like having that close friend you can always depend on. They have a genuine interest in what I want to achieve; when I have a dilemma their advice is based on what is right for me, not them; no issue I have is too big or too small; and the relationship I have with the Ambient People team makes me feel extremely valued. ”
“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. ”
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
