⚠️⚠️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

📢 How do I stand out when applying for a role? When applying for a role, most people focus on listing a raft of responsibilities and duties on their CVs. While these elements highlight the core aspects of the job, they are often seen as basic expectations for any applicant. So, how do you separate yourself from the pack? 🏆 As Jonathan Cohen explains in the clip below, it's all about key achievements and tangible impacts. During our candidate registration process, we ask a myriad of questions aimed at uncovering these vital details. For instance, we delve into the size and scope of your portfolio, the breadth of industries you've covered, and the specific value you've brought to your clients. By pinpointing these accomplishments, we ensure your profile stands out from the competition. Showcasing what you have achieved and the measurable impact you've made can make a world of difference. It tells employers that you don't just do your job; you excel at it and produce noteworthy results. If you're an Audit, Tax or Accounts professional working in Practice and looking for some help with your job hunt, do feel free to reach out to us for a confidential discussion. #CareerAdvancement #JobApplicationTips #StandOut

🌟 Company Values Matter More Than Ever 🌟 Ambition's recent survey highlighted a crucial insight: people increasingly prioritise a company's set of values, especially Generation Z. As Jonathan Cohen explains in the clip below, when it comes to attracting and retaining talent, it's no longer just about the job; for employees it's about feeling a sense of belonging and knowing their workplace stands for something meaningful. We also asked whether firms have published their values internally or externally. Surprisingly, while 2/3 of respondents said their firms do, a significant 1/3 still lack defined, communicated values. This trend is more common among smaller, independent firms, but it shows that despite the size of the firm, there's a gap to bridge. Creating and documenting your company's values isn't just a tick-box exercise. It's about clearly articulating your company's proposition, ensuring every employee and potential job seeker knows what you stand for. 💼🌍 #CompanyCulture #GenerationZ #EmployerBranding

🌟 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
