Established in the UK in 2016, Distinct started with a vision of creating an outstanding place to work. Our unique people-first approach, combined with our comprehensive 360 model covering business development and candidate resourcing, has fostered long-lasting relationships between clients and candidates for over 8 years.
In 2021, we proudly expanded our talent acquisition service, bringing our unique, people-centric approach to the East Coast. Today, our specialized recruiters cater to the public accounting, finance and legal sectors across 17 states. With a team of 16 consultants entirely dedicated to candidates and clients in North America, we are poised and committed for further growth.
Why we’re refreshing our brand
Distinct has already grown from five to over 50 staff, across the UK and USA with offices in Nottingham (UK), London (UK) and Boston (USA). Throughout this growth, many fantastic changes have happened, but we’ve strived to ensure that our core values remain the same.
Pursuing our approach of ethical and responsible recruitment, we strive to always do the right thing for the long-term benefit of all parties involved.
Our new look represents our progress; stepping into a new era, continuing the expansion of our service across North America. However, we’re still the same people-first, leading recruitment agency that our customers know and trust.
Evolving from Distinct North America, we’re now simply Distinct
From how we interact with customers to how we look after our staff, we believe in keeping things simple and this is reflected in our new, amended name – Distinct.
We firmly believe that people make the difference and have grown our business by placing people at its core. Our mission is to support the firms we partner with in building diverse, inclusive and equitable workplaces.
We pride ourselves on prioritizing quality, long-lasting relationships and never simply chasing a quick fee. In this sense, we’re far from what some might picture as a stereotypical staffing agency.
In our revamped branding, the sharper color palette and more up-to-date tones represent our modern approach to recruitment and employment. This bold color scheme signifies our confidence as leaders in the market; the same confidence we aim to instill in our clients and candidates. Whether that’s to pass an interview with flying colors or to make a new hire, our goal is to ensure the ideal match has been found.
As a business
Internally, we still nurture the same people-first approach through our day-to-day culture. We’re on a continued journey to ensure the success and happiness of all of our employees and to advocate for what a great workplace looks like. Our projects to support this mission have included:
-
- Achieving carbon-neutral status and beginning our Bcorp journey
-
- Rolling out private healthcare, subsidized daily travel costs, mental health support and enhanced maternity pay for staff
-
- Internal education and actively taking responsible steps towards diversity, equality and inclusivity
