Take the next step with an employer who backs your ambition

ATA are expanding our team in Leicester and looking for a Principal Recruitment Consultant to join our Contract Engineering desk. It's a busy, high-value market where your placements make an impact, your relationships matter, and your hard work pays off.

At ATA Recruitment, progression is real, your desk is yours to grow, and your success is in your hands. This is your chance to build a career you actually control, within a company that invests in its people. We provide all the tools and support you need to succeed and prioritise your personal development.

Our Contract division is led by an experienced Associate Director with over 20 years in the business and the market. You'll benefit from their guidance while being part of a high-performing, collaborative, and supportive team.

The Role and About You

As a Principal Recruitment Consultant, you'll take full ownership of your desk from day one:

  • Build lasting client relationships through consultative, quality sales - not just cold calls or KPI-chasing.
  • Manage your own portfolio of businesses, delivering recruitment solutions that clients come back for.
  • Source and engage top talent using job boards, LinkedIn, and direct outreach.
  • Run end-to-end recruitment projects and see the results of your efforts in every placement.
  • Use your market expertise to generate leads, spot opportunities, and grow 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 success in a 360 recruitment role (Engineering experience is a plus).
  • Confidence to build genuine, long-term relationships with clients and candidates.
  • Ambition and drive.
  • Organisation and focus under pressure.
  • Desire to take ownership of your desk and build a career where your success is yours.
  • Strong written and spoken English.

Why ATA Recruitment?

  • Earn from Day One:
    Uncapped commission lets you start earning immediately.
  • Clear, Visible Progression:
    Real career development with 10-tier progression structure and examples of success from within our business.
  • Own Your Desk:
    Freedom to grow your portfolio and build long-term client relationships, with guidance from experienced leaders.
  • Recognition That Lasts:
    We celebrate success through career moves, team incentives, and genuine recognition of your achievements.
  • Be Part of Something Bigger:
    As part of the RTC Group PLC, ATA is trusted across engineering and infrastructure recruitment. You'll join a team that values both results and people.

Next Steps

If you're ready for real ownership, uncapped earnings, and career progression that doesn't feel like empty promises, contact us today for an informal chat about how ATA Recruitment can help you take your career to the next level.
