Selena began her career while attending Sunderland University, deferring in her final year to focus on her role in Telesales, where she sold B2B IT solutions. When relocation became necessary, she realised it wasn’t the right move for her. Reflecting on what she loved about her job – customer service, sales and recruiting – she found recruitment to be a natural fit. Following a seamless transition into office and IT support recruitment, Selena’s career has spanned both national and local agencies.
Seeking greater autonomy, Selena joined Distinct almost 7 years ago and hasn’t looked back. With over two decades of specialist skills, knowledge and network connections, she is a key, valued member of the office support and wider Distinct team.
Selena finds immense joy in engaging with her customers, thriving in the dynamic environment of office support recruitment, where the variety of sectors and levels ensures no two days are the same. In line with Distinct’s core value of doing the right thing, her decision-making process is rooted in fostering long-term benefits for all parties involved. Through her steadfast commitment, she matches individuals with office support jobs that fit their career goals and employers with staff who will enhance and strengthen their teams.
A true “renaissance recruiter”, Selena possesses all the expert skills desired in an advocate. She adeptly stays informed on industry trends, is a skilled negotiator and has a proven track record of understanding the complex needs of her clients and candidates. Selena has been instrumental in the success of countless clients and candidates across the Midlands and London.
Selena’s inspiration comes from the power that recruiters have to improve lives. Through recruiting office support roles across a myriad of sectors, she has honed an intricate understanding of what fantastic jobs, candidates and workplaces look like.
Whether negotiating a life-changing pay rise or helping someone transition from a low-level job to one with tangible career development, Selena consistently enables her candidates to flourish. For her clients, Selena is determined to facilitate their continued growth and success by matching them with ambitious, dedicated and skilled professionals from her cultivated network. Consistently going above and beyond, whether providing advice or reassurance, Selena has even driven candidates to their interviews.
Selena consistently brings her infallible sense of humour and delicious baked goods to the office. Distinct’s most talented baker, she whips up everything from banana and pecan loaf to chocolate fudge cake. Describing herself as “dog mad,” Selena often says she’d adopt dozens of dogs if she could. For now though, she is happily content with her puggle, Harry, who often steals the show at doggy daycare, especially when wearing special outfits on seasonal holidays (see picture – you’re welcome).
