About us
We’re a market-leading agency with hubs in Nottingham, London and Boston, MA. Since opening our doors in 2016 with a team of just four people, we’ve grown to an international headcount of over 50 and partnered with over 900 businesses; from start-ups and SMEs to large enterprises and international organisations.
Creating an environment where our employees can thrive and enjoy coming to work every day has always been our top priority. Internally, we believe in a culture of autonomy and progression, where ideas are taken onboard and there is always a clear path to promotion.
You don’t have to just take our word for it though, here are a few comments from some of our experienced recruiters.
What our experienced recruiters say about us
“Having worked for other agencies, Distinct stands out so much by comparison that I would not choose to go elsewhere. It has given me the opportunity to progress following maternity leave. Distinct is all about the people and that’s the main reason why I love working here.” – Claire Fletcher, Divisional Director
“If you want to work at an agency with amazing support functions (admin, finance and marketing), where you’ll be treated like an adult, surrounded by brilliant operators, led by a leadership team that’s all about the long term AND get paid well too… Distinct could be for you.”– Alex Alcock, UK Growth & Strategy Director
“I left my last business and wasn’t sure what was next. I originally asked Distinct to help me find a job! After a good chat and meeting a few different people, I realised that although I felt agency recruitment was not for me anymore, this setup was different. I decided to give it a go and 8 years later, here I still am! It’s 100% the people that have kept me here when things have gotten tough, as well as being given great opportunities to explore new markets.” – Michelle Cracknell-Leafe, Talent Acquisition Partner
If you’re still not convinced, we’ve also received a rating of 4.3 stars out of 5 on Glassdoor.
About you
We’re looking for recruiters who have at least 3 years of recruitment experience in one of our UK or US markets:
- Join our Nottingham team: Our Nottingham teams specialise in recruiting for finance, HR, marketing, IT & office support and procurement & supply chain
- Join our London team: From our hub in London, our dedicated accountancy practice offering supports professionals and firms across the UK
- Join our US recruitment team: Operating out of all three of our offices, our specialist US teams recruit for the public accounting and legal sectors across the East Coast. Our USA recruitment package includes international travel to the US.

For recruiters who join us on our US teams and decide to take the same leap, we will support them throughout the visa application process and provide a relocation package to help them settle in.

- Daily travel reimbursement (up to £5)

Sustainability and ESG initiative
In 2022, we proudly became carbon neutral certified. Since then, we’ve been working behind the scenes with the long-term goal of gaining B Corp status.

If you’re passionate about diversity and inclusion, sustainability or company culture, they’re always open to new members!
