“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. ”

“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. ”

Mike

“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. ”

Alex

“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.”

Van

“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. ”

Arsell

“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. ”

George

“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. ”

Adam

“The Ambient People team are strong, professional, personable, extremely knowledgeable and have established a fantastic recruitment business in a very short space of time. Very well respected and strong reputation. I'm proud to be working with you! Max has always communicated and kept me fully up to date. He supported my recruitment and appointment by fully understanding what I could bring to the role and having a great understanding of the organisation and individuals within it. ”

Debbie

“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. ”

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
