Sebastian Thomson
Senior Consultant - Audit
Roles I Recruit
I specialise in External Audit recruitment and my clients range from smaller independent firms right up to the Big 4. I recruit for both pure audit and general practice across all levels including Audit Semi-Senior, Audit Senior, Audit Supervisor/Assistant Manager, Audit Manager, Senior Audit Manager, Audit Directors/Partner Designate and Partner.
My Background
Previous to joining Ambition, I worked for two medium-sized practice recruiters and I have almost 7 years’ experience in the market. In my first role, I was responsible for playing a key role in turning what was a new market for the company into an established team.
Outside of work
I am a big fan of Formula 1 and I enjoy both playing and watching tennis and golf. I love eating out and I am always looking for great places to eat.
What candidates and clients are saying
-
My experience of working with Seb was exceptional. He guided me throughout the recruitment process, provided excellent advice and help at all levels. Seb's approach is to understand personality and skills of a candidate to quickly identify which current vacancies would suit that person most. He went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared for interviews and has a approachable attitude. He helped me get a job within 2 weeks of my first meeting with him.
