“After struggling to recruit a Finance Manager with suitable restaurant experience, I was introduced to Cedar by our new MD and the step change in the both the quality of candidates and the focus/support from the team was immediately evident. They successfully placed a candidate, initially on a short term basis which subsequently became permanent. The professionalism and expertise that Cedar exude is impressive and is the reason why I haven’t looked elsewhere since that first recruit. From from both a business, and more recently a personal perspective, they offer impartial career guidance.”

“I’ve worked with Cedar on a number of recruitment opportunities over the last few years which, in an industry where the maxim that ‘you are only as good as your last assignment’ is particularly relevant, is testament to the quality of service that they provide. Cedar has made a conscious effort to understand my management philosophy and the things that are important to me. They also take the time to understand the corporate culture and the environment into which I am looking to recruit. This results in an efficient recruitment process, a relevant short list and appointments that have a fighting chance of success.”

Recruitment Challenge: Finding candidates who understand the complexities of a multi-site business.

Jackie Freeman, Strada, explains that her biggest recruitment challenge is finding candidates who understand the complexities of the financial analysis for a multi-site retail business.

“We have partnered with Cedar now for a few recruitment projects and every time I have been extremely impressed by Cedar’s ability to source high quality candidates. Cedar have demonstrated his deep knowledge of our business by sourcing candidates who are not only a close fit technically, but also from our industry. Cedar always keeps me well briefed on the status of all candidates throughout the interview process and I feel they are a genuine business partner. It has been a pleasure to work with the team at Cedar as I have found them to be highly professional, genuine, consultative as well as having a good sense of humour! I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar.”

“Cedar have greatly assisted me in building the team I need to deliver the business requirements in a challenging environment. The team have taken the time to get to know me and my requirements achieving a high level of successful recruitment. They are dependable and high in integrity, and go the extra mile to support me and they work hard to make recruitment for me as smooth as possible. They never complain when I give them an impossible task and, when I was in need of immediate short term staffing assistance; the team were quick to help. They are very effective at their job and it’s a pleasure to recommend Cedar as accomplished recruiting professionals.”

“We first tried Cedar when we needed a high quality candidate, fast. They didn’t disappoint, and unlike many other agencies we had tried, provided us a highly credible shortlist of suitable candidates. We could have filled the role several times over. Since then, Cedar hasn’t disappointed and each time we’ve needed to add to the team, Cedar have delivered credible candidates. They seem to know the candidates they represent well, and they have handled each of our engagements with swift efficiency, which has taken the pain out of recruiting for senior candidates. Happily recommend Cedar to anyone who doesn’t enjoy the recruitment process.”

“I have been working with Cedar on couple of roles and they are an outstanding recruiter. I am so grateful for all the help that Cedar has given me and how patient the team have been with us. I would highly recommend Cedar for any candidate or company.”

“We had an urgent requirement to find an Interim Corporate Finance Analyst to be based in our High Wycombe office. The successful candidate needed to have a very specific skillset as well as extensive experience in a niche area of corporate finance and M&A. Due to our specific requirements and the location, we knew it may have been difficult for us to find the right candidate and we enlisted the help of Cedar. They completely understood what we were looking for but didn’t have a candidate who was immediately available for this location. Cedar quickly actioned an advertising campaign to attract the best talent in the market.

Cedar hit the nail on head – one candidate, one interview and the position was filled with in one week.

I was extremely impressed with their knowledge of the market and speed at which they delivered.”
