Ambition

Ambition has seen a rise in scams involving individuals impersonating recruiters from Ambition and other agencies on platforms such as LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Telegram. These impersonators use stolen logos and images, fake profiles, and even real job postings to appear legitimate. Their goal? To trick jobseekers into sharing personal information or paying unnecessary fees. 🔎 What to watch out for: ✔ Ambition never charge jobseekers at any stage of the hiring process ✔ Our employees only email from official company domains (e.g. @ambition.com.hk, @ambition.com.sg — see image for the full list) ✔ A legitimate offer will always follow a proper interview process ✔ Never share confidential personal information or documents without verifying the request and the recipient If you're ever unsure whether a message is really from us, don't engage further—contact us directly via our official website or phone. #Ambition #JobScam #StayAlert #RecruitmentScam

In our recent webinar, Navigating the Offer: Practical Insights for Tax Directors, Claire C. and Chris Cheng ACA discussed a crucial but often overlooked part of the process — how quickly you respond to an offer.  While it’s natural to take time to think, waiting too long can: -Signal doubt to the hiring manager about your commitment. -Risk losing the role to another strong candidate still in the process. -Slow down momentum and as we say in recruitment, “time kills deals.” At the Director level, it’s a big decision, but striking the right balance between due diligence and decisiveness is key.

This year’s Ambition Day marked our 26th year of celebrating what makes us strong – our people. With a “Mission Impossible” theme for our annual Ambition Got Talent showcase and festivities taking place across the globe, the day overflowed with creativity, laughter, and connection. From games and picnics to shared meals and sweet treats, every team found its own way to make the occasion special.   Some offices also continued our tradition of hosting charity auctions, raising over AUD 10,470 for causes close to our hearts, and more community initiatives, adding purpose to the celebrations.   Here’s to another year of #BuildingBetterFutures, together!   #AmbitionDay2025 #HappyAnniversary #LifeAtAmbition #26Anniversary

This year the '5 and up lunch' was a big one! Every year Nick Waterworth 🦘 hosts a lunch for the people that have worked for the group for 5 years or more. Ambition, AccountAbility and Watermark Search International employees from all over Australia are brought together for a slap-up meal and a few tasty beverages to say thank you for their hard work. It truly is one of the best days of the Ambition calendar and this year was extra special as we had over 25 people who qualified! With such a big group we tried something a little different. Before the festivities we got together for a think-tank style discussion, which we all agreed was a brilliant addition to the day! Not only is the 5 and up lunch a lovely gesture, it is also a testament to our tenure at Ambition (many of the faces in the group have actually hit the 10-year mark!). As we say, 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 for our employees as well as the candidates and clients we support. Great food, great wine, great view and even better company! Even the sunshine made an appearance! What more can you ask for on a Sydney afternoon! #buildingbetterfutures #5anduplunch #tenure #recruitmentcareers
