Case Study: Spencer Ogden achieves 40% HR time savings with Sage People

Spencer Ogden - Customer Case Study

Spencer Ogden is a fast-growing specialist recruitment firm operating in engineering, energy and infrastructure with around 400 staff across 12 sites. As the business expanded it found existing HR processes and systems couldn’t keep pace: the team needed technology that fit its innovative brand, supported a highly mobile workforce and millennial clients and candidates, and cut manual admin so HR could focus on higher-value work.

Operations Director Donna Hewitt chose Sage Business Cloud People for its flexibility, functionality and quick deployment. The system delivered immediate gains — automated reporting and instant data access, employee self-service and a mobile app — freeing up to 40% of routine HR time, reducing the HR-to-staff ratio from about 1:60 to 1:70, and providing a scalable, internationally compliant platform with responsive support.
