Case Study: Pearson achieves standardized global recruitment, improved analytics, and reduced costs with Oracle Recruiting Cloud Service

Pearson Transforms Global Recruitment Across 65 Countries, Improves Analysis, and Reduces Costs with Standardized Cloud Service

Pearson, the global learning company with roughly 40,000 employees, needed to modernize and standardize recruitment across 65 countries. The organization faced fragmented local systems and manual processes that drove up costs and limited visibility into time-to-hire and sourcing effectiveness, while also needing better internal mobility, simpler seasonal hiring, and stronger reporting and analytics.

Pearson implemented Oracle Recruiting Cloud Service (with IBM as implementation partner) across 65 countries in five languages in ten months, creating a global HR design authority, two shared service centers, an employee portal, and a reporting warehouse. The result was a standardized global recruitment process, improved reporting and analytics, more internal hires and reduced agency spend, broader sourcing via a consolidated LinkedIn integration, streamlined HR workflows, and elimination of complex integrations.
