Thanks for looking into who we are, and how we might be able to help you hire.

Ambient might have been established in 2022, but we brought over 50 years of successful recruiting to Local Government with us.

We are highly experienced; passionate about the sector and the people within it; straight-talking; and laser-focused on building an exceptional reputation.

Within the first two years of operating, we have made over 250 interim placements across 50 Local Authorities. It’s a testament to our reach, our approach, and our hard work.

But don't take our word for it - here is what some of our network say…

“I have had the pleasure of working with Karima over the years on numerous recruitment campaigns, and her expertise has consistently exceeded my expectations. Karima always delivered quality candidates who were not only well-qualified but also a great fit for our organisational culture. What sets her apart is her personal approach, she takes the time to understand the unique needs of each role and tailors her search accordingly. Karima’s dedication and thorough understanding of our requirements made the recruitment process seamless and effective. Her commitment to excellence and personalised service have been invaluable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a recruitment consultant who truly goes above and beyond. ”

Marta

“As an employer – We very quickly developed a great working relationship with Ambient People in the search for interim finance staff. In that search, AP invest the time to talk to us to find out the skills, experience and price range we are looking for, and then we get back relevant candidates without wasting time.  ”

Kevin

“As both a candidate and a hiring manager for Ambient People, I’ve found support and communication to be good both during the process and throughout the assignment. One of the biggest challenges in the interim market is being contacted about roles and then hearing no feedback from agencies, but I would not say Ambient fall foul of this. ”

Dawn

“Ambient people have a deep insight in local government finance resourcing, and the candidates they put forward are true matches, and hit the ground running, exactly what we need. Liam, in particular, is super-efficient and a pleasure to work with. ”

Celia

“Liam has demonstrated the ability to understand a brief in detail, provide advice and insight into the hiring process. He is able to apply that understanding and clearly has an extensive network of high calibre candidates to draw on. He has always been committed to making the hiring process as smooth as possible and remains engaged with both client and contractor throughout assignments. I look forward to continuing to work with Liam and would highly recommend him to anyone hiring within the sector. I have no doubt he will bring his high standards of integrity and service to his new business. ”

Anna

“I initially contacted Andy during an extremely busy and stressful period for me. Andy really took the time to listen to the issues I was dealing with and to understand the magnitude of the challenges I was facing. We had open and honest conversations and he was able to match candidates that align to my managerial approach and work ethic. I have had experiences in the past whereby agencies put forward candidates who look fantastic on paper but in reality are not at the level I would expect – Andy does not take this approach, he is clear with me regarding the level of experience candidates have and where their strengths and weaknesses lay. When I speak to Andy on the phone, he asks how I am and actually takes the time to listen to my answer! ”

Jo

“I work with Liam and Ambient People because they understand my needs quickly and simply. He doesn’t bombard me with unsuitable candidates, candidates out of my price range or sends me CV’s on spec. I then receive CVs for GOOD candidates with a covering e-mail highlighting strengths and weaknesses of all candidates. All off this saves me time when time is the most important commodity I have. ”

Jo

“I have known Liam for many years and worked with him both from a personal contracting perspective and more recently in a hiring capacity.  I have always found Liam straight forward to deal with and he has a particular skill in setting out the realities of all aspects of a position or role. This is something I value greatly.  He and the team haven’t let me down. ”

Alan

“Ambient people are different. They do not just provide staff resources that are skilled and talented but also candidates who really “fit” the organisation. What makes them different is their focus on understanding the client and what type of person is needed, as well as understand the requirements of the job at a level of knowledge which is somewhat unique. I have absolute confidence in their ability to deliver good quality candidates and would highly recommend their services!”
