Principal Recruitment Consultant

Want a role where progression into management isn’t a vague promise — but a genuine pathway? Welcome to Milk Education. We’re the agency that does things differently: creative, people-first, energetic, and growing fast. Our Sheffield branch was formerly known as our compliance and onboarding power house — the backbone of the business. But over the past six months, we’ve deliberately grown a small but incredibly strong sales team, and they’re absolutely flying. Now, we’re ready to take that next leap… And that’s where you come in. We’re looking for a driven recruiter who thrives on a fast-paced temp desk. You don’t need education experience — if you’ve smashed temp recruitment in ANY sector and want to step up into a future leadership role, this is your opportunity. This isn’t just another desk. It’s a chance to join a high-potential branch at exactly the right moment and grow into management as the team continues to scale. Why This Role Stands Out Real progression into management — you’ll be part of the Sheffield growth story from the ground up Join a revitalised office that's gone from compliance hub → to a high-performing, growing sales team in just 6 months Shape your own desk and have real influence as the office continues to evolve Creative marketing support to amplify your presence and attract top talent Uncapped commission & big biller bonuses — your success = your reward What You’ll Be Doing You’ll run a full 360 temp desk within the education sector — but don’t worry if you’re new to education; if you’ve ever thrived on a fast-paced temp desk (industrial, healthcare, commercial, hospitality, construction… anything!), you’ll be right at home. Your role will include: Building relationships with schools, education professionals, and/or healthcare clients Growing your desk using smart, modern, creative marketing tools Winning new business and nurturing existing accounts Driving candidate attraction and retention Ensuring compliance and safeguarding best practices Working closely with our growing sales team and adding your unique strengths to the mix Being part of a high-performing, ambitious environment where progression is encouraged What’s In It for You Clear, visible pathway into leadership WFH days + reduced hours during the school holidays 23 days holiday + bank hols + your birthday off Early finish Fridays Friday beers & an in-house bar Training, coaching, and development at every stage A culture that feels like a team Let’s Chat If you’re ambitious, driven, and excited to help shape a thriving Sheffield office — where progression to management is a real destination — then we’d love to speak with you. Let’s build something incredible in Sheffield together. #J-18808-Ljbffr
