Overview

A PROVEN TRACK RECORD IN LEISURE TRAVEL RECRUITMENT AGENCY IS ESSENTIAL

Have a background in leisure travel and converted that into a high-performing recruitment career? Every recruiter in our team brings that blend of experience, and it’s what sets us apart in such a competitive industry. If you can demonstrate that same track record of success, we’d love to hear from you.

Ambitions Travel Recruitment is an award-winning, global leisure travel and luxury hospitality recruitment company. Our Founder and Managing Director, Fi Morrison-Arnthal, has over 30 years’ experience in global leisure travel and recruitment. She actively recruits every day, mentoring our team hands-on and sharing strategies that maximise placements and earning potential. Post-Covid, Fi launched Ambitions with a single focus: to become the world’s leading leisure travel recruitment specialists. We don’t touch business travel. Leisure is our niche, and it’s where we excel.

Despite being one of the youngest travel recruitment companies, we already have one of the largest global social media followings in the industry, surpassing many long-established competitors. We’ve won multiple awards, built one of the strongest reputations in the market, and created a powerful inbound engine where 95% of our work comes from referral, not cold outreach. We also invest in the best tools: an industry-leading ATS, dedicated admin and marketing support, and a sister website offering free eLearning for the travel industry. You’ll never waste time formatting CVs or writing adverts when you could be closing placements and building your desk. Our results speak for themselves – we’re having our best year yet and expanding into new markets with a dedicated Hospitality Division, all fueled by client recommendations.
