Rochea-Cleo Ashanti
Talent Acquisition Partner
Office Support, UK
“I had worked in recruitment for five years at a well-known agency and knew it was time for a change.
I looked at Distinct’s social media channels and thought they came across as an agency that wants to do well but also wants their staff to be happy. Ultimately I joined because of a combination of everything they offered, including the perks, office environment and flexibility.”
Louise Carling
Talent Acquisition Director
HR, UK
“Prior to joining Distinct, I had been in recruitment for 14 years and was returning to work following maternity leave.
I’ve often said that Distinct really is the best because you have the autonomy and freedom to deliver. The trust I’ve been given despite the natural ups and downs in recruitment has been stand-out.”
Henry Clarkson
Talent Acquisition Director
Finance, UK
“I’ve previously worked for four different agencies, ranging from a small privately-owned company to an international billion-turnover business.
Distinct is well known in the market and I always heard positive feedback from candidates and clients about them. Coupled with their Nottingham HQ, sustainability focus and career progression prospects, it was a no-brainer.”
Imogen Talbot-Slack
Senior Talent Acquisition Partner
Public Accounting, USA
“I worked in payroll admin before pivoting into recruitment. I was looking for a change in culture where growth would be encouraged and employers would have my best interests at heart.
Six years in, I’ve had countless highs with Distinct. From hitting incentive trips and going to Val D’isere, Hvar and Las Vegas to winning the CEO-choice award, which is something I’m still very proud of!”
Rebecca Sherman
Talent Acquisition Director
Public Accounting, USA
“Since making the move to Distinct in 2021, I’ve been given the right tools and support from my wonderful manager, I started to do well and hit two promotions within 12 months.
Recruitment can be hard. So it’s important to choose a company in which you will be not only supported and rewarded, but that will let you put your life and family ahead of the job every now and again. Distinct will do that.”
