Looking for more control over your career and a desk you can truly call your own?

If you’re already a strong biller but finding it harder to see a clear path forward, you’re not alone. Whether it’s constant changes, vague promises, or targets that don’t reflect your market, experienced recruiters often reach a point where they need something more.

At ATA Recruitment, we’ve created an environment where experienced consultants are trusted to get on with the job and supported to take the next step when they’re ready. No false starts and no hidden barriers, just a clear opportunity to grow.

We’re hiring a Principal Consultant into our Leicester team. We work in high-performing sectors, with strong existing client data and real room to grow - ideal for someone ready to take full ownership of their success.

The Role and About You
As a Principal Consultant, you’ll take full ownership of building your desk, with live roles and warm client data available to get you started. You’ll build long-term client relationships through consultative, not transactional, sales. You’ll run end-to-end recruitment projects, source top talent using a range of tools, and use your market knowledge to grow and shape your desk over time.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys recruitment, knows how to deliver results, and wants more say in how they do it.

You’ll need:

A strong track record in 360 recruitment (contract or perm, any sector)
A sales focus
The confidence to build relationships that last
A focus on delivery, quality, and consistency
A desire to own your performance and grow something sustainable
Clear communication skills and attention to detail
