“I initially contacted Andy during an extremely busy and stressful period for me. Andy really took the time to listen to the issues I was dealing with and to understand the magnitude of the challenges I was facing. We had open and honest conversations and he was able to match candidates that align to my managerial approach and work ethic. I have had experiences in the past whereby agencies put forward candidates who look fantastic on paper but in reality are not at the level I would expect – Andy does not take this approach, he is clear with me regarding the level of experience candidates have and where their strengths and weaknesses lay. When I speak to Andy on the phone, he asks how I am and actually takes the time to listen to my answer! ”

“In my experience, Ambient People take a more personal approach to recruitment, taking the time to get to know candidates and managers to help match people and roles.  As a hiring manager, Liam and the team always discuss the requirements of the role with me and only send CVs for people they believe will be a great fit. I have appointed some excellent staff through them as a result.  As a candidate, I know that they will only put me forward for roles they think are right for me, with my best interests at heart. ”

“I have worked with Max for a number of years now from a recruiting manager perspective. Max quickly understands his client’s requirements and works tirelessly to find the right fit of candidates for interview. I found Max’s advice and understanding of the role and client a great help in identifying suitable opportunities and subsequent delivery. This excellent support as continued as Ambient People have grown as a leading player in the public sector contract market. ”

“As an employer – We very quickly developed a great working relationship with Ambient People in the search for interim finance staff. In that search, AP invest the time to talk to us to find out the skills, experience and price range we are looking for, and then we get back relevant candidates without wasting time.  ”

“I approached Andy for his help in appointing an interim Director of Finance. He quickly presented a strong shortlist from Ambient People’s network which resulted in us being able to choose between multiple appointable candidates. Not only did we make a great hire, but the strength of the field took a lot of the stress away from appointing to a key post for me. ”

“Max always provides excellent candidates which have always reflected the roles required – many of which stayed long term.  The onboarding is always professional and timely and communication at all points of the process is excellent and supportive. Max not only responds to internal vacancies but keeps me in the loop with candidates who are available and will support the team’s purpose, reflecting his understanding of our organisation and team. Max is always my first go to when I need support. ”

“Liam has demonstrated the ability to understand a brief in detail, provide advice and insight into the hiring process. He is able to apply that understanding and clearly has an extensive network of high calibre candidates to draw on. He has always been committed to making the hiring process as smooth as possible and remains engaged with both client and contractor throughout assignments. I look forward to continuing to work with Liam and would highly recommend him to anyone hiring within the sector. I have no doubt he will bring his high standards of integrity and service to his new business. ”

“As both a candidate and a hiring manager for Ambient People, I’ve found support and communication to be good both during the process and throughout the assignment. One of the biggest challenges in the interim market is being contacted about roles and then hearing no feedback from agencies, but I would not say Ambient fall foul of this. ”

“Ambient people are different. They do not just provide staff resources that are skilled and talented but also candidates who really “fit” the organisation. What makes them different is their focus on understanding the client and what type of person is needed, as well as understand the requirements of the job at a level of knowledge which is somewhat unique. I have absolute confidence in their ability to deliver good quality candidates and would highly recommend their services!”
