Trainee recruitment programme
Experienced recruitment careers
Distinct started in 2016 as a small business with a single Apple Mac, a coffee machine and a telephone that wasn’t ringing.
A lot has changed since then. We still have a coffee machine, but it’s undoubtedly had an upgrade. Today, we’re an international team of 50+ with offices in both the UK and the USA. Never ones to rest on our laurels, we have exciting plans to further expand in the coming months.
