About Us
At Ampersand we don’t bother with promises, we believe in delivery.
Founded by a group of forward thinking senior consultants, we saw an opportunity for a high-touch, boutique consultancy that would lead the industry by bringing innovation to the marketplace. We’re knowledgeable experts, professional but personable, well connected and discreet.
Established in July 2008, we’re market leaders in our sector. Boutique in our offering but expansive in our reach with offices in Melbourne and Sydney, and soon-to-be Singapore, we’re able to provide global reach through our extensive, long standing network.
Both clients and candidates partnering with Ampersand will benefit from our fresh approach to the management of people, expectations and relationships. And it’s our commitment to those relationships for the long term that has seen many of our candidates become our clients and advocates.
