  • ​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.

  • ​I never felt like ‘just another CV’ when working with Claudine. When I was quite unsure about looking for a new role, she took so much time to talk me through my options and the market in general, without ever making me feel pressured. Claudine really knows the industry - her advice was always informed and savvy, but also thoughtful and diplomatic. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Claudine again if I was considering a new role and would gladly recommend her to anyone.

  • ​Matthew and the team at Ambition are highly experienced recruitment professionals with an excellent network of senior BD contacts.  We worked with them to appoint a new BD Director.  I was impressed by their understanding of the role and the market.  Matthew was extremely responsive, producing a very high quality shortlist and an excellent service to both us and the candidates.  He was invested in finding the right candidate for the role and the firm and I would have no hesitation in recommending him and look forward to continuing to work with the team.
