Case Study: Spencer Ogden achieves rapid international growth with Bullhorn's SaaS recruiting platform

Leading Energy Recruiter Chooses Software-As-A-Service for Worldwide Offices

Spencer Ogden is a London-based specialist energy recruiter launched in January 2010 by David Spencer-Percival and Sir Peter Ogden to serve oil & gas, renewable and nuclear markets across 30+ countries. Ahead of launch the team needed a CRM that was intuitive, quick to implement, low on upfront IT cost, and easily scalable to support rapid international expansion and fast onboarding of new recruiters.

They selected Bullhorn’s cloud-based SaaS recruitment platform, gaining email audit trails, mobile and social integrations, instant user provisioning and no server capital expenditure. The result was faster onboarding and seamless global rollouts—staff grew from 13 to 24 in six months and to over 130 across six centres by 2012—while cutting initial infrastructure costs (about £35k) and supporting continued international growth.
