Spencer Ogden's Explosive Growth Leveraging Bullhorn Recruitment CRM

In 2010, David Spencer-Percival and Sir Peter Ogden launched Spencer Ogden, a 360-degree energy sector recruitment agency. The company experienced rapid growth, expanding from a staff of fewer than 20 at launch to over 500 employees across six centers in London, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Qatar, and Houston by 2014. This rapid expansion presented a challenge in terms of managing customer relationships, scaling operations, and maintaining low capital expenditure. The company needed a recruiting software that could support its international growth, deliver a seamless service to customers, and allow for straightforward resource planning. The software also needed to be intuitive, aligning with Spencer Ogden’s business processes and easily adopted by staff.
