After earning an MSc in Politics, Philosophy, and Management from Lancaster University, William joined Distinct for our culture, fantastic benefits package and the opportunity to launch a successful recruitment career through our comprehensive 12-week training programme.
William was drawn to recruitment for its emphasis on building relationships with clients and candidates. He also saw the potential to earn well by providing an expert service. As a tax recruiter, his motivations lie in matching accountants across the UK with firms that prioritise their people, invest in their wellbeing and support their success.
William’s proactive and people-centric style lends himself well to forging long-term relationships with his clients and candidates. Dedicated to building trust, he keeps candidates well-informed by providing regular search updates and listening closely to their feedback. As a result, William carefully matches tax roles and firms to suit skills, personalities and needs, ensuring a perfect fit.
With a dedicated focus on personal well-being, William understands that each accountant’s definition of work-life balance will change at different points in their careers. He also recognises the impact of demanding tax seasons on both workload and personal well-being, emphasising the importance of choosing the right firm for continued career growth.
In a highly candidate-driven market, William showcases key aspects of firm culture, values and flexibility to help attract like-minded tax professionals and stand out from market competitors. This deep understanding enables him to present opportunities accurately, ensuring well-informed candidate decisions, precise tax hires and ultimately, aiding stronger staff retention.
When he’s not at work, William can be found canoeing every week; whether playing a game of Canoe Polo or paddling down high-adrenaline rapids. To unwind, he also loves to go cycling, hiking and wild swimming.
