Harry Hartnell legal recruiter, Distinct North America

My professional background

Harry specializes in assisting legal attorneys and associates in discovering career opportunities with law firms across Pennsylvania. Armed with a bachelor’s degree in criminology from Nottingham Trent University, Harry embarked on his recruitment career; he was initially drawn by the camaraderie and people-focused nature of the field. With a natural ability to build rapport and a passion for guiding candidates toward the best career opportunities, it’s evident that recruitment aligns seamlessly with his strengths.

The allure of joining Distinct stemmed from the company’s stellar reputation as exceptional recruiters, and Harry’s desire to learn from the best. Motivated by the leadership team’s commitment to continuous improvement, he seized the opportunity to broaden his horizons, venturing into new areas – ultimately joining Distinct’s US legal team. 

Get to know Harry

Harry’s approach is defined by transparent and honest communication. Committed to providing advice aligned with the best interests of the candidate, he believes in ensuring that each candidate is fully informed, offering a well-rounded overview of their position in the market, even if that means advising them to stay in their current role. Harry’s focus extends beyond immediate placements, emphasizing the importance of long-term career satisfaction and alignment with individual career aspirations.

Harry stands out as a recruiter deeply committed to finding the perfect fit for his candidates. One of his career highlights includes fulfilling a candidate’s dream role after six months of unemployment. The genuine satisfaction he derives from helping legal professionals secure positions aligned with their career ambitions, at firms that align with their values, is just one aspect of what drives Harry as a recruiter and contributes to his success. Harry truly takes a long-term approach when matching candidates and firms, carefully evaluating both skill sets and personalities to facilitate impactful hires.

Despite the occasional disappointment of being a Manchester United fan, Harry is an enthusiastic football (soccer) supporter. A self-proclaimed kitchen expert, he enjoys cooking and sharing his culinary creations. During his downtime, Harry can be found socializing with friends and relishing a good film with a fast-paced plot. Perhaps most importantly, he’s a true fan of The Office (US version – always and forever).
