About Group GTI
GTI’s mission is to help students of all backgrounds to realise their potential. They sit at the intersection between students, universities and employers and aim to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity. Through targetjobs and gradireland platforms, GTI helps students to discover career options, develop skills and build their confidence to take the next step on their journey.
Our partnership with Group GTI started in 2023, supporting them with a number of roles across finance and marketing. We hear from James Doherty at Group GTI on how he’s found his experience with us so far.
The recruitment brief
We had a vacancy for a Financial Controller in our Wallingford office in the Thames Valley region. Our key requirement was to find a candidate that brought both seniority and experience to the position. We also needed Distinct to move quickly as we had just one month to fill the vacancy before our existing team member moved on to their new role.
Choosing an agency
I found that Distinct truly understood my perspective and therefore could articulate our requirements accurately, quickly and sincerely.

Recruitment challenges
This was our first hire of its kind in this region and consequently we leaned on Distinct to map out the region and manage the candidate feedback process for us.
Recommending Distinct
I consider Distinct a trusted partner who is prepared to have an honest discussion in order to find us the right person long-term. Thanks to Distinct, we considered a variety of factors, as part of the decision-making process, which helped us to hire the best person for the job.
