⚠️⚠️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

🌟 Positive Hiring Trends🌟 In Ambition's recent survey of Public Practices, nearly half of firms said they were planning to increase their number of hires in 2024. This is a reassuring trend, especially after the market experienced a consolidation phase throughout 2023. As Jonathan Cohen explains in the clip below, in 2022, we saw a surge in recruitment, but the subsequent year was marked by stagnation and a slight shrink in the market. This period of consolidation allowed businesses to recalibrate and prepare for the growth we're seeing now. It's particularly encouraging to see that over 70% of Practices anticipate either maintaining or increasing their hiring levels this year. Such optimism is a positive indicator for the future of our market. #HiringTrends #EconomicGrowth #JobMarket2024

🎉 Celebrating 25 years of Ambition: Expanding into Asia 🏆 As Ambition celebrates its 25th anniversary, Co-Founder and Executive Chair Nick Waterworth reflects on the company's journey into the Asian market. Nick acknowledges that expanding to Asia is not straightforward; it’s not just a matter of deciding to start a business in Hong Kong and expecting guaranteed success. One of the most notable expansions has been to Kuala Lumpur (KL), which now boasts a fantastic team and has become a significant part of Ambition's business. Asia’s diverse cultures make the excitement of doing business in this region, even more enjoyable. While cities like Sydney and Melbourne are great, they tend to be more domestic in their business outlook. In contrast, cities like Hong Kong and Singapore are massively international, adding to the thrill and opportunities of operating there. 👉 If you would like to learn more about Ambition's story, click the following link in the comments below. #Ambition25 #CompanyAnniversary #InternationalBusiness

🌟 ED&I, Values and Culture are increasingly important to jobseekers.🌟 As Jonathan Cohen explains in the clip below, job seekers and employees are increasingly looking for a sense of belonging when looking to join a firm or stay working in a company. Employers need to be aware that their company culture can be a deciding factor for top talent. A positive, diverse and inclusive culture is crucial for employee retention and satisfaction. Job seekers are look beyond the role itself, especially when roles don't vary greatly from firm to firm. Cultural fit and shared values are a increasingly important factor in people's search. #WorkCulture #EmployeeEngagement #CareerGrowth

📉 Changing length of service in today's workforce We're seeing a shift in how long Audit, Accounts and Tax professionals stay at Practices, especially in private equity-backed firms. Contrary to 10-15 years ago, people are now staying in their companies for shorter stints, driven by our dynamic job market. Private equity firms, promising rapid growth, tend to attract talent seeking quick challenges and experiences, not necessarily long-term commitments. What are your thoughts on this trend? 🤔💼 #WorkforceTrends #CareerGrowth
