Tired of Targets That Don’t Reflect Your Real Value?

If you’re a recruiter who takes pride in building lasting relationships and placing the right people into the right roles — but you’re ready to step away from constant new business pressure — this could be a strong next step.

At ATA Recruitment in Leicester, we’re hiring a Recruitment Consultant to specialise on the candidate side, with a warm desk and established client base in the Maintenance Engineering sector.

The Role and About You

This role suits someone who knows recruitment isn’t just about filling jobs — it’s about guiding people through important career moves, offering insight, and building trust over time.

You’ll be:

• Managing live vacancies with active clients — no cold calls, no starting from scratch.
• Sourcing and interviewing candidates in the Maintenance Engineering market, where skilled talent is in high demand.
• Working alongside an experienced Business Development Manager, who handles the client relationships and brings in the roles.
• Providing market insights to clients and supporting account development.

You’ll likely have at least 12 months in a recruitment role, and you’ve discovered that your real strengths lie in the candidate relationship side. You’re organised, have a high level of written and spoken English, communicate well, and want to build a career in recruitment that offers progression without the burnout.

Why ATA Recruitment?

Recruiters often move because they’re looking for more than just commission promises — they want genuine support, clear progression, and a desk where they can succeed. At ATA, that’s what we offer:

• A desk with existing PSL agreements and live roles — so you can focus on delivery, not cold business development.
• Uncapped commission that pays out fairly and consistently.
• Structured career progression — with clear objectives and a track record of consultants stepping into more senior roles.
• Collaborative team culture — where knowledge and opportunities are shared, not guarded.
• Established name with over 60 years in recruitment — offering stability as well as opportunity.
