Marketing Recruitment Agency.

I have recently engaged James at Distinct to support us in recruiting an eCommerce director. He took his time to understand our business and the skill set we were looking for. James managed the process very professionally and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to recruit a senior digital or marketing leader.

During such a tough time where jobs are already hard to come by, James was not only able to assist me in landing the first job he sent across to me, but I was also put through to the second stage of another. This shows James' ability to find the right candidates for the right roles and the right role for the candidate. He has been incredibly supportive throughout the entire process and kept me up to date on a weekly basis. He supplied invaluable feedback which I was able to act upon and I believe this helped me to progress in the final stage which ultimately made me a successful candidate in the process. I will definitely be recommending James to my friends and colleagues who are on a similar journey and would again like to thank him for all his help throughout the entire process which led me to find the perfect job!

Very professional and personal support from the team at Distinct especially James who was looking after my application which ended in a successful appointment. The comms before, during and after the appointment was second to none. Highly recommended.

I worked with James when looking for a new job, he was always friendly, professional, and went beyond to secure my new role. I dealt with a difficult situation at my old work, which Distinct handled with respect and consideration.

James from Distinct Recruitment helped us to find our newest colleague. The whole process was really easy, and we're so pleased with the outcome. James took the time to really understand our requirements and, unlike many recruiters I've worked with, he was able to digest all of the information and use it to approach potential candidates without us having to wait for them to apply. He was hands on enough in the process to make it easy for us, but equally left us to it when we appropriate. We've ended up with a team member who is the perfect fit for our team and with the skills we needed too. I'd recommend Distinct.

I'd also say that, having shared an office with Distinct for some time now, that they are really true to their values; they believe coming to work should be a positive experience and that filters through their own processes as well as the way they handle our recruitment needs. By really understanding our company, they've sourced candidates who will be happy working with us and enjoy our culture - which I believe leads to higher staff retention rates too.

A few years ago, James contacted me with a great opportunity that would need someone with my skills. I applied for the job and James was so supportive and friendly throughout the whole process. In the end, I got the job and it was great to hear James so excited when sharing the news with me! In January 2019, I decided that I wanted to relocate and progress my career so I contacted James as I knew he would be the right recruiter to speak with. It was the best thing I have ever done! 

E-days have worked with various members of the team at Distinct on some really key roles for our business over the past year (in particular across Marketing and Customer Support). When we set up the relationship, the team were genuinely interested in getting to know our company inside out, finding out what’s important to us when we’re recruiting and how we wanted to support candidates through their journey with us – they have been instrumental in helping us sell our employer brand to candidates who may not have heard about us before. The team are always quick to pick up and run with new roles and we have a high standard of candidates coming into our selection pools. They are a core part of our recruiting armoury!

I receive a lot of generic calls from recruiters but from the first contact, Distinct were clearly a different level of business that understand their market. Since adding Distinct onto our PSL around four months ago, I’ve worked with James during a recruitment drive for some newly created key positions. He proved to have excellent industry knowledge and is a true professional who has taken the time to understand our business & roles, plus he also knows their candidates! We’ve already established a good working relationship & I certainly recommend working with Distinct.
