“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. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“I was recommended Ambient People by a work colleague in sourcing my first interim assignment in local authority finance, and I can confirm they have proven to be everything and more than you would want from a professional recruitment agency. They have been a critical friend, sharing my journey. Overall, I am very pleased with the support and service and will be looking to Ambient in securing my next contract.”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“Regarding my last contract arranged by Ambient, it was my first move into the contract market and so I was very grateful for the time ambient took to answer all my questions on how the temporary contract market works. The agency provided me with all the information I needed to make the right choices such as type of umbrella company to use, impact of IR35, pensions etc. They also ensured my onboarding with the client was as smooth as possible. ”
“I can honestly say that Ambient People are completely outside the norm of recruitment companies. Max interviewed me with a genuine intention of wanting to understand my situation and what I was in search of. After our first chat, I was not left feeling like I was part of a numbers game and communication has since been easy, regular and honest throughout my assignment. Onboarding and internal processes of Ambient People are efficient and secure and I know the support will continue into the future. ”
“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.”
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
