“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.  ”

Luke

“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

“I have worked professionally with Liam for over 20 years and can vouch for his professionalism and ability to find the best contracts for my skill sets. He's established a very professional team of consultants who are dedicated and never lose sight of our wellbeing and always provide support and feedback. ”

Mike

“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

“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 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

“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

“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.”

Ramesh

“I have been working through Ambient People for about 18 months and in that time I have been able to contact them and when I do I get a response back very quickly and nothing I ask (as a first time worker through an agency) has been too much trouble and any issues resolved by the end of the day. I am very happy to be part of their community. ”

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
