Are you an experienced Recruitment Consultant looking for a path to Leadership?

If you re an experienced recruiter who s delivering results but feeling blocked by rigid KPIs, reshuffled desks, or vague progression promises - you re not alone. Many skilled consultants hit a point where the environment no longer matches their ambition.

At ATA Recruitment, we understand that senior recruiters don t need micromanaging - they need space to grow. We ve built a culture that supports autonomy, celebrates performance, and offers real control over your career.

We re growing our team in Leeds and looking for a Principal Consultant to grow the contract engineering recruitment desk across the North. You ll inherit warm client relationships, work a market with proven success, and be supported to scale it as your own - with a clear pathway into a future leadership role.

The Role and About You

As a Principal Consultant, you ll be trusted to run your desk like a business, with the tools, support, and data you need from day one:

• Develop client relationships through meaningful, consultative engagement not just weekly call targets.
• Manage a portfolio of clients and roles across engineering within the North.
• Deliver end-to-end recruitment solutions, from briefing to placement, with full accountability.
• Engage high-quality candidates through targeted sourcing and outreach strategies.
• Identify opportunities to grow your desk - whether that s deepening existing accounts or opening new doors.

This is a role for someone who wants their expertise to count. You ll need:

• A successful track record in 360 contract recruitment (any market considered).
• Confidence in building and maintaining strong client and candidate relationships.
• The desire to take ownership of your performance - and your earnings.
• A strategic mindset, but still happy to roll up your sleeves and deliver.
• Strong written and spoken English, with attention to detail.

• Uncapped Commission from Day One: Uncapped commission - no moving goalposts.
• Real Career Progression: Clear steps from Consultant through to leadership, backed by examples across the business.
• Autonomy and Support: Run your desk with freedom, backed by a leadership team who provide guidance, not control.
• Recognition That Means Something: Structured career development, incentives, and a culture where performance is acknowledged not taken for granted.
