"I’ve just completed my 3rd year at Uniting Ambition and it’s been an amazing journey...
I joined Uniting Ambition as part of the trainee programme. The first 6 months were a blend of a structured training, mentorship, and practical development as a Recruitment Consultant.
Three years ago, I was a rep in in Ibiza. I can’t believe how far I’ve come here at Uniting Ambition..."
Launch and Build Your Own Recruitment Brand
From bar work to brand founder, James launched a high performance breakout brand.
James joined us after a brief foray in bar work. One of our directors spotted him during the night shift and felt he had what it takes to become a great recruitment consultant. He joined us from an assessment day and immediately had an interest in building his own desk.
He found his own clients and worked with multiple FTSE listed businesses. 2 years and 2 promotions later, James is founder and consultant of his own high performance breakout division -
Uniting Cloud.

"It’s one week since the launch of our recruitment brand Uniting Cloud. The moment we went live was nerve racking. No one ever sees the amount of graft done to get to that point. And it’s a lot.
There were loads of things we loved during this process. Getting advised on your branding is pretty cool! But this isn’t how you help build people’s careers.The team are really bought in to what Uniting Cloud want to achieve; to be the go to place for cloud talent. We’re really proud about what we’ve done to get Uniting Cloud live..."
We hunt in packs - working together to make sure every day is better than the last. Over 84% of our internal vacancies are filled by promotions and we have an average tenure of 4.1 years - so we like to think our culture is pretty great!

"For me, the best thing about the job is seeing the impact talent has on growth of my clients.
The financial and non-financial rewards that follow are great too! The culture here is pretty unique. We're accountable for everything we do - and are rewarded for our hard work.
I also get to work directly with the directors and wider leadership team on a daily basis, which gives me a real understanding of where the business is going and helps me grow. I'd recommend UA to anyone who want's to develop a long term career in the recruitment industry."

"I began life at UA as a junior consultant where I was given support to build a book of clients.
There is a big culture of ownership here - if you want it, you go and get it. There's no barriers to success.
This gives you the opportunity to make a name for yourself by building a desk from the ground up. Even with the high levels of autonomy, there’s always a solid backbone of support.
The best part of my job is the satisfaction. I love it when theres a perfect fit that adds real value to both the candidate and client."
