Where could a recruitment career at Ambition take you?

It could take you to all the way into a senior management role, in London, Asia or Australia. In fact, where you end up is your choice.

Here are some of the other reasons our people enjoy working at Ambition:

A diverse and inclusive culture
From musicians to mums, accountants to analysts and PAs to personal trainers, we’ve brought all kinds of people into recruitment at Ambition. It isn’t about what you’ve done or where you come from – it’s about who you are.
Autonomy
At Ambition, you effectively run your own business. It’s a freedom most people could never imagine, but we know that autonomy is a key ingredient of success.
Create your own career path
Are you a biller or a boss? At Ambition, we give people the chance to carve out a career that suits not just their skills, but that enables them to achieve their personal ambitions. 75% of our senior leaders started out as entry-level recruiters.

Lucrative financial rewards

Cards on the table: we think it’s OK to be motivated by money. That’s why our commission is totally and utterly uncapped.

Flexible working

Recruitment hasn’t always been the most flexible career – but we’re changing that. We have adopted a hybrid working model that allows our people to shape their work around their lives.

Training and development

Passion, enthusiasm, work ethic? Essential. Previous experience? Not needed. You will be partnered with experienced recruiters so that you can learn from the best and our L&D specialist will give you the bespoke training you need in order to get up to speed quickly.

What I really enjoy about working at Ambition is how specialist we are.We don't try and recruit across every market. We purely specialise in professional services.It means we’ve become subject matter experts, which is really beneficial when we're talking to our candidates and clients as we really know our markets inside out.The other thing is, of course, the people that I get to work with, we've got a really great culture here at Ambition, and I genuinely enjoy coming into the office to see everyone.
Harriett Stevens

Senior Consultant

What I enjoy the most about working with Ambition is getting out and about to meet with my network as much as possible in person. So, going to clients’ offices, going to meet candidates for coffees, going for lunches. It's just so nice to see the people in person, to build those relationships, and to really get under the skin of the people that we support day in, day out.
Tanzim Khan

Managing Consultant

Sometimes, there's a stereotype in recruitment firms that people have large egos. Ambition showcased to me straight away that everyone holds equal value.
Christine Sleigh

Principal Consultant

Previously, Ambition used to be my biggest competitor so I was really excited to join the team as I knew that they had an excellent client and candidate base and a first class reputation in the market. The people definitely make the culture and everyone really wants you to succeed here. Also, the type of desk I’m working on is really fast paced and busy, which is what I love!
Marguerite Clooney

Principal Consultant

For me, the best thing about working at Ambition has to be the people. Working with colleagues from different backgrounds and ages is great as I think it's really important to have that diversity across our peer group. We have good fun together, all interact well and celebrate our successes as a team. I enjoy being a specialist in my area Ambition has always supported my career goals which is a big reason why I've stayed.
