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 joint ventures 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, Hammersmith & Fulham, Kent, Luton, Surrey and Swindon. To date, we have returned £7.2 million to our partner councils. Supporting local communities remains a key priority, with 70% of people hired coming from the local area and more than 2,750 roles filled, including opportunities for individuals who were previously long-term unemployed.
