“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 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. ”
“Ambient staff have been very approachable, pleasant and always there to support and help me find assignments in a timely manner which meet my needs, including things like flexible working and supportive teams. Once successful, the onboarding and paperwork was done with efficiency and accuracy. ”
“Great experience! Ambient People are wonderful to work for, they are professional and very supportive. They take the time to ensure that the organisation and interim are the right match for a good work experience. ”
“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. ”
“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 joined Ambient People on the recommendation of a friend who was with another agency but had worked with Liam and said he was her preferred agent to work with. The recommendation proved to be correct. My transition from permanent worker to contract worker went very smoothly and if I have had any problems with the admin side of things Liam and his team are always prompt to respond and resolve my queries. ”
“Having Ambient People as my recruitment agent is like having that close friend you can always depend on. They have a genuine interest in what I want to achieve; when I have a dilemma their advice is based on what is right for me, not them; no issue I have is too big or too small; and the relationship I have with the Ambient People team makes me feel extremely valued. ”
“Ambient People were exactly what I wanted and needed from an agency when venturing into the interim market for the first time; pragmatic, professional, knowledgeable, genuinely friendly and (most importantly to me) honest- a refreshing approach with a great ethos and upheld values. ”
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
