The Role and About You

As a Principal Recruitment Consultant, you’ll take real ownership of your desk in a fast-paced, technical market, with live client data and active opportunities from day one:

• Build lasting client relationships through consultative sales — not just cold calls or KPI-driven tasks.
• Manage your own portfolio of businesses, delivering recruitment solutions they come back for.
• Source and engage top talent using a variety of tools, including job boards, LinkedIn, and direct outreach.
• Run end-to-end recruitment projects, seeing the results of your efforts in every placement and payday.
• Use your market expertise to generate new leads, spot opportunities, and expand your desk over time.

We’re looking for someone who is ready to take their recruitment career to the next level. You’ll have:

• Proven track record of success within a 360 recruitment role (any sector)
• The confidence to build genuine, long-term relationships with clients and candidates.
• Ambition and a drive for results, but tired of being stuck in a cycle of empty promises and unachievable targets.
• The ability to stay organised and focused, even when the pressure is on.
• A desire to take ownership of your desk and build a recruitment career where your success belongs to you.

Why ATA Recruitment?

• Earn from Day One: With uncapped commission and no thresholds, you can start earning right away.
• Clear, Visible Progression: You’ll see real career development with proven steps to go from Consultant to Principal and beyond, with examples of success from within our business.
• Own Your Desk: You’ll have the freedom to grow your own portfolio and build long-term client relationships, with the support of proven managers who’ll guide you without micromanaging.
• Recognition That Lasts: We celebrate success not just with monthly targets, but through structured career moves, team incentives, and genuine recognition of your achievements.
• Be Part of Something Bigger: As part of the RTC Group, ATA is trusted across engineering and infrastructure recruitment, and you’ll be joining a team that values both results and people.
