What makes Ambition different?

A deep knowledge and understanding of the Professional Services market

We know that Professional Services firms face specific challenges when it comes to hiring and retaining talent for BD and Marketing teams.

As we only work with Law firms, Accountancy Practices and Management Consultancies, we have built up a deep knowledge and understand the nuances and challenges of working with Partnerships and Professional Services firms, both culturally and technically.

Integrity is a core value

Honesty and integrity underlines everything we do. We believe in building long-term relationships with our network throughout the entire course of their careers. That’s why we insist on meeting every candidate we work with and take the time to find out motivations, what makes them different and special, then understand how those attributes will make a positive difference to firms of our client partners. 

Access to passive talent

In today’s candidate short market, we know that the talent you need might not be actively looking for a new role. We share a lot of coffees and have built up a large network of candidates who have come back to us time and again throughout their careers, from finding them their first graduate job in Business Development or Marketing to, years later, putting them forward for roles as Directors and CMO positions within some of the leading Legal and Professional Services firms.

Thanks to the deep relationships we have developed with these skilled professionals over many years, we are able to tap into this network and source the best passive talent with the specific skills and experience your business needs.
