Alert: On the 1st April 2026, Crown Commercial Service (CCS) became the Government Commercial Agency (GCA). This organisational change brought CCS together with other Cabinet Office commercial teams to form a single agency supporting more streamlined public sector commercial delivery.
HMRC approached PSR in April 2023, to support the supply of 800 Customer Service Advisors to meet the demands for the HMRC contact centres. This involved a rapid response to recruit these workers within 6 weeks.

We identified existing talent pools within Brook Street and launched a National advertising campaign to attract new talent and used the TIFO onboarding platform to simplify and enhance the candidate experience.
Brook Street submitted 1.5 candidates per 1 vacancy in order to protect against dropouts and this was monitored on weekly project calls. The end result was having 805 workers start within the 6-week period, all in situ by the 31st of May.
