You have high standards when it comes to hiring.
So do we.
We believe in "Building Better Futures" for our clients, which means we're committed to finding talent to enable business growth. We look beyond the skills on a CV, factoring in social skills, potential for growth and how people handle challenges or obstacles to ensure that the candidates we put forward are the perfect fit for your business.
We've been working with many of the top professional services firms in the world for over 20 years. Here are just a few reasons why our clients choose Ambition for their recruitment needs:
We don’t know it all.
Yes, that is a positive thing! We don’t try to be all things to all people. We’re specialists, not generalists.
However, we do know our niche sectors extremely well. We have deep knowledge and consultants who have been in this business for many years and know the market inside out.
We are expert advisors.
Our recruiters are called ‘Consultants’ because we strive to be consultative during every interaction with our clients and candidates.
We provide a bespoke, personal service that can support and advise you throughout the hiring process to give you the best chance of securing the top talent you need.
You want a candidate that ticks every box?
We’ll think outside of the box, to get you that candidate that we know is right for your business. We can only do this by building those deep relationships with every client and candidate we work with.
You can trust us to represent your business well.
The way to ensure that is by listening closely to our clients to gain a deep understanding of your company and what’s important to your firm. Integrity is a core value of ours so you can trust that we will always strive to do the right thing by our clients and candidates.
Diversity & Inclusion is engrained in our processes.
Ambition is an advocate of equality, diversity and inclusion at every stage of the hiring process. We regularly review our processes and train our Consultants on ED&I to ensure there is no unjustified discrimination in our processes for recruitment and selection.
As a pledge of our ongoing commitment to ED&I, Ambition has signed up to the Race Fairness Commitment, which was launched in July 2020.
Supported by a number of law firms, internal HR and recruitment teams, plus recruitment agencies like Ambition, it pledges members to engage in activities to ensure equal access to opportunities for all candidates.
Candidates in our network
We have an extensive database of talented professionals with experience in the areas we recruit in. Around 70% of our network are passive candidates that are not actively looking for work.
Offices
With offices in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney and Melbourne we are well placed to meet your recruitment needs both in the UK and internationally.
Referrals
of the placements we made last year came from referrals.
CVs to placements ratio
We believe in quality over quantity so we are selective with the CVs we put forward, choosing only the best candidates that meet your criteria.
What our clients say

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.
