Billing Well but Feeling Stuck? This is Your Next Step Toward Leadership and Bigger Earnings.

If you’re an experienced 360 recruiter who consistently delivers but feels ready for a desk with more potential, clearer progression, and real support - ATA Recruitment in Leeds can offer you that next step.
This is a Principal Consultant role where you’ll take ownership, build toward leadership, and be trusted to grow your market - without the usual moving targets and broken promises.

The Role and About You

As a Principal Recruitment Consultant, you’ll take ownership of a desk in the North West Maintenance Engineering market - an active, high-demand sector where good recruiters thrive.
You’ll inherit warm sales data and existing client relationships, so you won’t be starting from zero - but you’ll have the freedom to build and shape your desk with autonomy.

You’ll be:

• Developing business with both new and existing clients, with plenty of warm leads to go at
• Building long-term relationships with hiring managers and becoming their go-to recruiter
• Sourcing and managing candidates in a competitive, fast-moving market
• Handling offers, negotiations, and closing deals with confidence
• Working toward a leadership pathway - this role has genuine scope to progress into team management

About you:

• You’re already billing, but you want more control, a bigger desk, and a route to grow into leadership
• You’re commercially sharp, resilient, and take pride in building relationships that last
• You’re looking for a business that backs you - with real investment in your market, not just lip service
• You'll have a high level of written and spoken English.
