our Approach

We have thought carefully about how we can deliver a service which addresses the challenges and nuances of hiring and resourcing across local government and the public sector. Having a great network developed over many years is only the start of that journey.

By having three key strategies which not only address those challenges but align naturally with the kind of business we want to be, we believe we can offer something a little different, and a little better, to the sector we love.

Put the individual where they belong – at the heart of the recruitment journey

Each piece of recruitment is unique, defined and driven by the people involved. By crafting our approach around those involved – candidate, client, consultant – we know we deliver more satisfying outcomes. We pledge to be your expert on the recruitment journey.

It is the substance behind our commitment to Empowered Individuals, Better Results.

Treat our network well, and grow it

Our network is simply defined as the people we know that we can help, and can help us. That relates equally to our candidates and our clients – and to the many people we gratefully class as both.

A great network is based on earning trust and providing support. That sums up how both the way we want to work and - hopefully - what will make us successful.

Apply Strengths-Based Recruitment

ambient people focus on a blend of strengths-based and competency-based recruitment.

Competency relates to the skills we’ve learned, and how we use them. Our personal strengths are the things which take us from surviving to thriving.

Identifying both is how ambient people find candidates who thrive.
