Are you an experienced 360 recruiter with a track record of mentoring consultants who is ready to take that next step into leading a team?

At ATA Recruitment, we’re looking for a Managing Consultant to lead our Contract Recruitment team in the North. This is more than running a desk – it’s about building, mentoring, and developing a team of consultants to deliver success in one of our most established markets.

If you’ve thrived in 360 contract recruitment, love winning business, and have experience supporting others to achieve more, this role offers the platform to step into or strengthen your leadership career.

The Role

As a Managing Consultant, you’ll balance driving your own billings with leading and inspiring your team:

• Head up our Northern contract recruitment offering, inheriting warm client relationships and a strong market presence.
• Mentor, coach, and develop a team of recruitment consultants, ensuring they achieve their potential.
• Lead by example with your own 360 recruitment activity across engineering contract roles.
• Drive growth by strengthening existing client partnerships and identifying new opportunities.
• Create a high-performance culture built on trust, collaboration, and accountability.
• Work closely with senior leadership to shape the long-term strategy for the contract division.

About You

This role is suited to either:

• An established Managing Consultant who has already led and developed consultants.
• Or a senior/principal consultant with proven success in mentoring colleagues and now looking for their first formal step into leadership.

You’ll also need

• A proven track record in 360 contract recruitment (any sector considered).
• Strong business development skills with the ability to deepen client relationships.
• A natural leadership style that inspires confidence and brings out the best in others.
• A balance of strategic thinking and hands-on delivery.

Why ATA Recruitment?

• Uncapped Personal Commission: Earn on your own billings from day one with no moving goalposts.
• Team Commission: 5% of your team’s billings.
• Leadership Opportunity: A chance to head up the Northern contract team with a clear pathway into senior management.
• Autonomy and Support: Freedom to run your team and desk, backed by an experienced leadership group.
• Career Development: Structured leadership training and tangible progression opportunities.
• Part of a Bigger Network: As part of the RTC Group, ATA offers the stability, resources, and reputation of a well-established name in technical and engineering recruitment.
