“I can’t thank Max enough for his incredible support. Max’s responsiveness and regular check-ins have been reassuring. The onboarding process was smooth and well-structures, providing everything I needed to get started. The team’s dedication has made all the difference especially as a first-time interim.”

“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. ”

Tim

“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. ”

Gary

“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.”

“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.  ”

“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.”

“I felt well supported during the recruitment process and the onboarding process. Everything worked seamlessly and there was no concern at all. The support at beginning was also really good and it made settling down easier. ”

Yinka

“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. ”

Jonathan

“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. ”

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
