We are a group of recruiters building a network of talent to help Local Government thrive, by connecting people to opportunities where they can thrive themselves.

“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. ”

“Ambient People has consistently gone above and beyond in their support. From day one, Andy has been an invaluable resource, offering guidance and assistance that made every step of my journey smooth and stress-free. Their commitment to my success was evident in every interaction, and it significantly contributed to a positive and productive experience. The general contact and engagement with Ambient People has been outstanding. The responsiveness and professionalism displayed, especially by Andy, has made it easy to address any concerns or needs that arose.  ”

“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

“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.  ”

Farid

“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. ”

Errol

“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. ”

Linda

“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

“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.”

Susan

“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. ”

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
