Case Study: Reed Specialist Recruitment achieves integrated cloud-based learning and performance management with Saba

Reed Specialist Recruitment recruits Saba to get the benefi ts of cloud-based learning and performance management

Reed Specialist Recruitment, a family-run recruitment firm operating across 83 offices with about 2,100 users, relied on spreadsheets and classroom-based training and had fragmented PowerPoint eLearning with no reliable way to track mandatory compliance or centralize appraisals. The business needed a flexible, digital talent management system to centralize learning, automate course assignment, and integrate performance management with development.

Reed implemented Saba Cloud (branded internally as Talent Hub) to store performance data, automate course assignments by role and location, manage appraisals centrally, and add peer-recognition badges tied to rewards. The platform automated scheduling, enabled progress tracking and visible recognition, gave employees real-time learning resources, improved compliance and engagement, and set the stage for mobile learning and better candidate–role matching.
