Principal Recruitment Consultant

Principal Contract Recruitment Consultant Social Work Recruitment | Leaders in Care | Manchester Some recruitment vacancies offer you a desk to build. This one offers you an established patch that has consistently ranked among the three highest-performing desks in the business, with a proven history of generating significant contract revenue. We're looking for an experienced Principal Recruitment Consultant to join our social work team at Leaders in Care, supporting children's and adults' services across the UK. Social work was the founding team of our contract division six years ago. Since then, the division has broken every company record, won multiple Team of the Year awards and seen consultants achieve three promotions in a year.

The opportunity is proven. We're looking for someone with the experience and ambition to take it further. The opportunity The previous consultant enjoyed considerable success in this market before making the decision to relocate abroad. That leaves an opportunity for an experienced biller to take ownership of an established, high-performing patch with existing client relationships, market knowledge and a strong reputation behind it We're realistic about what moving agencies means for a successful contract recruiter. Walking away from an established book of business isn't always a straightforward commercial decision. Given the track record of this desk, we're open to discussing how we can make that transition worthwhile for the right person, including arrangements that recognise the income you may be leaving behind. We're looking for someone who can operate at Principal level, develop existing relationships, open new accounts and take genuine ownership of their market. We operate off-framework, building direct relationships with local authorities and winning business through the quality of our service. You'll need to be comfortable picking up the phone, getting in front of decision-makers and demonstrating why clients should work with you. Social work recruitment experience would be ideal, particularly within contract recruitment. However, we're equally interested in proven contract billers from other markets who can demonstrate a consistent track record of business development, account growth and revenue generation. This isn't a role where you'll be expected to start from scratch, but nor is it one where you'll simply inherit a book and sit back. The foundations are there. What you build on them is down to you. The environment The culture is straightforward: high standards, clear expectations and support from people who lead by example. No admin for the sake of admin, and no pointless KPIs that reward activity without results. You'll have the autonomy expected at Principal level, alongside access to technology, training and an experienced leadership team that understands contract recruitment. Our refurbished office is in Ancoats/Northern Quarter, surrounded by some of Manchester's best coffee shops, restaurants and bars, with excellent transport links. What you'll get Competitive salary reflective of your experience and billing record. Commission with no thresholds. Opportunity to discuss a tailored transition arrangement for an established contract biller. Quarterly growth bonuses. Quarterly achievers events. Company holidays. Genuine progression opportunities into senior leadership. 24 days annual leave, plus time off between Christmas and New Year. Star Days for overperformance. Gym flexitime. EMI Share Scheme. Interested? If you're already performing well in contract recruitment, you'll know that moving agencies is about more than a salary increase or a better commission percentage. It's about having the right market, the right support and a genuine opportunity to earn more and progress further. We've got a proven patch, an established client base and a team with the track record to back it up. For the right person, we're prepared to have a sensible commercial conversation about what making the move would look like.
