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.
