I had the pleasure of working with Ellie, and I can confidently say she is one of the most dedicated and effective recruiters I’ve worked with. From our very first conversation, she took the time to understand not only my technical skills but also my career and family goals and the kind of environment where I would thrive. Her guidance throughout the process was invaluable; she kept me informed at every stage, provided thoughtful advice, and made the entire experience seamless. Thanks to her expertise, I landed an incredible engineering position that aligns perfectly with my aspirations. What sets Ellie apart is her genuine commitment to her candidates’ success. She doesn’t just fill roles; she builds lasting relationships and ensures the right fit for both the candidate and the company. I’m truly grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a recruiter who goes above and beyond.

The candidates I have hired from Robert have been among the best in their field.

I had a fantastic experience having Ellie as my recruiter for my first engineering job after graduating. When she first recruited me, she showed enthusiasm during the process and was extremely knowledgeable in the refining industry. She ensured that I was knowledgeable about the company and position, and that it was a good fit for my background. She maintained regular communication between me and the company, never leaving me in the dark if I had questions or concerns.

Ellie is not your typical LinkedIn recruiter that is data mining and trying to make a puzzle piece fit. Ellie is intentional, receptive of feedback and clear on the roles she is presenting. I have personally recommended two of my past co-workers to her due to the great experience I had. I would recommend her to anyone in the engineering space who is seeking a new role.

JamesPrincipal E&I Reliability Engineer

Ellie Ambs was a wonderful individual to work with. With her comprehensive understanding of posted positions, she was able to reach out and connect me with a role that was more suitable than had met the eye. She and the team at Ambs Chemical Search have historic relationships with many employers. This enables them to provide an insightful look not only into a role’s compensation and benefits, but also the employer’s culture and expectations. Ellie’s genuine and caring demeanor was evident throughout. She selflessly did not aim to just link any available candidate to a posted position. In all phases of applying, interviewing, and even well after accepting the offer, Ellie and Ambs Chemical Search stayed in touch with me, ensuring it was the perfect job fit. Great thanks to Ellie and Ambs Chemical Search for reaching out, understanding my desires and goals, and ultimately connecting me with an amazing group of people.
