⚠️⚠️BEWARE OF SCAMMERS⚠️⚠️ If you receive a WhatsApp message out of the blue from a recruiter claiming to be from 'Ambition' - THIS IS NOT FROM US. We have received countless alerts from members of the public who have been targeted by scammers impersonating Ambition personnel. Sometimes, they use fake names of people who don't even work here, other times they use the name of one of our Consultants. 📢 Let us be clear on this: If you have not applied for a job through us, or sent us your CV, we will NEVER send you an unsolicited message on WhatsApp. That's not how we work. We've heard reports of people sharing personal details and losing large sums of money due to these scams. Please be vigilant and if in doubt as to whether a message is genuine, please contact us directly to check before responding. More info here: https://lnkd.in/e32DzP_d

📈 CTA qualified Tax professionals are in demand! Lately, there has been a notable shift in recruitment within the tax sector. Due to potential changes in legislation and heightened qualification expectations, the demand for CTA qualified professionals is increasing. We've noticed that our clients are prioritising candidates who are fully or at least partially CTA qualified even before the interview stage. This trend reflects the rising value placed on specialist knowledge and the ability to navigate increasingly complex tax landscapes. #TaxProfessionals #CareerDevelopment #CTAQualified

🎙️This week's guest on the Leaders with Ambition podcast is Rebecca Lowe, UK & International Head of Talent Acquisition at global law firm CMS! Becky has held a variety of HR roles in the manufacturing and professional services sectors, including a stint overseeing a staff of 800 at a Big 4 accounting firm. As she explains to Host Nicky Acuna Ocana; “I’m not afraid to stretch people and take them out of their comfort zone because that’s the kind of support I’ve had and that’s what has enabled me to grow.” Not only does Becky make it a practice always to raise her hand, she also brings authenticity, candour and transparency to everything she does. The goal? This leader is always looking for ways to add value – by enabling transparency, advocating for equity and inclusion, honouring the needs of team members and fostering optimal conditions in the workplace and at home. Learn about the leadership lessons that have shaped Becky’s successful career – from training intensively as an executive coach to learning how to parent a neurodiverse son to embracing the art of listening as a tool for professional development. According to Becky, it’s all about being brave and embracing failures as a gateway to growth – for ourselves and in mentoring others! 🎙️Listen to the audio: https://lnkd.in/dZbrFQH8 📰 Read the show notes here: https://lnkd.in/d5rfgEMe #LeaderswithAmbition #HRLeader #podcast

🚀 "There are plenty of opportunities out there in Audit, but firms are being a lot more picky." As Sebastian Thomson explains in the clip below, we've noticed a shift in hiring this year for Audit roles in Practice. While 'job hopping' wasn't too much of an issue previously, in the current job market, we've noticed that hiring managers in Practice now highly value CV stability. Firms want to feel confident that candidates are going to stay in the role long-term, so when applying for your next job, it's worth thinking about whether this is an opportunity that aligns with your career goals and that you could see yourself staying in for a while. ✨ #hiringtrends #audit #tipsforjobseekers #publicpractice

🏆 Celebrating 25 years of Ambition: A reflection 🎉 As we celebrate Ambition’s 25th anniversary, it's incredible to look back on the journey that brought us here. In 1999, our prospectus laid out a vision for starting a business in the UK, expanding in Asia, and growing in Australia. Today, we've achieved those milestones and more. 💎 The path hasn't always been smooth. We've faced significant challenges, from SARS and September 11th to the global financial crisis (GFC). Each of these events was a tough hurdle, but they also taught us resilience and adaptability. ⭐ Standing here today, we are immensely proud of what we've accomplished. Here's to many more years of growth, learning, and success. 👉 Nick Waterworth, Co-Founder & Executive Chair at Ambition Group, talks about Ambition's story.
