“Andy takes care to ensure you are well matched to any contract he puts you forward for. He is always there for follow up advice checks in to see how the contract is going and works hard to ensure you are happy with everything and resolves any queries you have very quickly. An agent and agency that actually care about their clients. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with him and Ambient People as a whole.”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“I joined Ambient Peoples Service almost a year ago and I have never looked back in terms of getting interim jobs with them. They have been very supportive through my interim roles and been quick to find me new positions when my previous roles have come to an end. ”
“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.”
“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.”
“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. ”
“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. ”
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
