The Department's Annual Reports and Accounts gives overall spend on consultancy as £149.105 million for 2022-23. There is no further breakdown to show spend on external recruitment consultancy and none could be obtained without entailing excess cost although, in general, Defence does not make use of external recruitment agencies to fill full time roles. However, the Army has a contract with Capita to deliver recruitment.
