About Ambition

Ambition was founded in Australia in 1999 by Nick Waterworth and Paul Lyons with a belief that there was a tremendous opportunity to carve a niche of our own in the recruitment market and build a special organisation. We didn’t want to reinvent the wheel, we wanted to build a better one, with a focus on delivering high quality service, market expertise and deep, long-lasting relationships.

Since then, Ambition has grown internationally, with offices in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney and Melbourne, yet despite our size, we remain one 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.

In India, we specialise in recruiting for roles from entry-level to director and C-suite positions on a permanent and interim basis within the areas of:

• Banking & Financial Services
• Technology

What differentiates us from our competitors is that we believe in a more personal approach to recruitment. Simply being good isn’t good enough. We have big ambitions and constantly strive to be better.

We pride ourselves on building better futures for our clients, candidates and employees and are constantly recognised for going the extra mile. The long-standing relationships we have developed with clients and candidates are a testament, not only to our reputation in the marketplace but also to the quality of service our recruitment consultants deliver.

As a jobseeker, we are perfectly positioned to offer you the best career opportunities both in India and internationally, leveraging our extensive client relationships across Asia, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

As a client, partnering with us means gaining a competitive edge in the India market. We are committed to fuelling your company’s ambition and helping you achieve your business objectives. Let us leverage our expertise in recruiting in the India market to identify and secure the right candidates who will ignite your business success and drive your organisation forward.

Ambition recognises our responsibility as recruiters to ensure a fair and unbiased hiring process both when recruiting for both our external clients and for our own organisation. We are committed to promoting equal opportunities and work closely with our clients to help attract a diverse candidate pool for their business.

We strive to model best practice by being proactive in identifying and preventing discrimination, bias or other unfair treatment during the recruitment process.

At Ambition, we passionately believe that everyone in the company can make a difference. We work relentlessly to reinforce our purpose and live our values.

Our values underlie everything that we do as a business and every interaction we have with our candidates, clients and colleagues.

​Our purpose is to build better futures for:

Our clients: we are committed to finding you the best talent to enable business growth.

Our candidates: matching your skills and interests with suitable job opportunities to fulfil your personal ambitions.

Our employees: we provide the framework for a rewarding, fulfilling and enjoyable career.
