Spencer Ogden Launches Contract Staffing Division And Expands

HOUSTON, Aug. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Spencer Ogden, known as the world's fastest growing energy recruitment agency, today announces exciting changes to its North and South American regions. Capitalizing on past achievements including $51.2 million in 2012 revenue and 4,000 energy jobs placed since inception including more than 2,000 contractors, Spencer Ogden, Inc. is launching a contract staffing division for the oil and gas, and power and nuclear energy sectors including recruitment for drilling contractors.

"Now poised to supply contract staffing solutions for these sectors, we can alleviate our clients' liability," says Spencer Ogden CEO and Co-Founder David Spencer-Percival. "Offering personalized, 360-degree service, our global presence allows us to place the best-suited candidates in the oil and gas industry."

Through this new division, Spencer Ogden, Inc. provides tailored support services for W2 contractors, including in-house payroll and benefits administration, and fully compliant liability insurances for oil and gas contract employees placed in offshore and onshore Gulf of Mexico assignments. In addition, Spencer Ogden, Inc. offers permanent, temporary and contract recruitment services for drilling contractors offshore and onshore.

Alastair Cole recently moved to the Spencer Ogden Houston office from Aberdeen as associate director for drilling contractor recruitment.  A founding member of Spencer Ogden, he will continue to lead recruitment teams in Aberdeen, Singapore and Dubai while building a recruitment team to service the requirements of drilling contractors in North and South America. Energy recruitment veteran, Henry de Lusignan, will serve as associate director of the contracts division, aiming to create a 75-person team within three years.
