Commercial Services Group Recruitment Partnerships work with councils to create more resilient, cost-effective and community-focused workforce solutions. Co-designed with local government, our joint venture model strengthens internal capability, improves control and compliance, and reinvests value directly back into frontline services.

Our partnerships are designed as a joint venture with councils to transform the way they attract, manage and retain contingent and interim staff. Through a stress-tested business case, local supply-chain development and established operational systems, we help partners improve quality, retention and cost control. As co-owners, councils gain full transparency and flexibility, with surplus income generated for reinvestment into local services. Our joint ventures now support a wide range of roles — from social care and education to environmental and technical services — across Dorset, Dudley, Hackney, Halton, Hampshire, Kent, Luton and Surrey.

To date we have returned £7.2m to our partner councils. Supporting communities, 70% of people who have been hired are from the local area and more than 2,750 roles have been filled including for previously long term unemployed.
