About Ambition

​Corporate Social Responsibility

At Ambition, we acknowledge our responsibilities to our employees, the community and the environment. Our corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy focuses on three core commitments:

• We believe that for our employees the company should be a positive, inclusive and safe place to work.

• We want to be engaged with our community, using our time and resources to improve other people's lives in line with our company's purpose of Building Better Futures.

• We recognise that we can significantly reduce the impact our business activities have on the environment.

Each of our offices around the world supports their communities through raising money as well as donating time, resources and expertise. We also host career-focused programs aimed at assisting young people.

Global

In addition to Ambition’s corporate social responsibility policy, as a group, we are affiliated with Unicef and participate in raising funds for their Champion for Children Programme.  Unicef are the United Nations Children’s Fund, they work in 190 countries across the globe and advocate the survival, protection and development of every child. Their focus is on the lives of children who are the most disadvantaged and excluded.

We are proud to have this partnership with Unicef as it strongly backs Ambition's tagline of “Building Better Futures”. Ambition employees are encouraged to donate year-round, however predominantly during the quarterly global culture initiatives, also known as ‘Celebrating Our Culture With Pride’ events.

​Our story

Ambition was founded in Australia in 1999 by Nick Waterworth and Paul Lyons with a belief that whilst we didn't want to reinvent the wheel, we did feel that there was a tremendous opportunity to carve a niche of our own in the recruitment market and build a special organisation.

Since then Ambition has grown, servicing specialist markets in key international cities; Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and London, yet despite our size, we remain of the few international recruitment businesses with genuine local expertise.

Today, Ambition is renowned for our in-depth knowledge and expertise, well-established networks and deep relationships. We have the scale to undertake significant projects for our clients yet deliver a personal customer experience with the soul and personality of a smaller company.
