What they’re saying about usSuccess stories from our valued candidates and clients
“Howard and his team at Cedar are a pleasure to work with. Throughout the recruitment process they put our needs first until we found the right candidate. Their approach is refreshing: it centres on building long-term relationships and not just about making quick gain in recruitment fees. I would not hesitate in using them again.”
“We engaged with Cedar for the hiring of a Finance Manager in one of our portfolio companies. The team I worked with demonstrated a deep understanding of the role’s needs and great professionalism throughout the process. What we liked the most about Cedar was that, despite the very narrow brief of the role, they managed to introduce a very diverse set of suitable candidates, each of whom had unique strengths to contribute, beyond the role’s requirements. The diversity of the candidates introduced contributed to us being even more confident in our final candidate choice. We would highly recommend Cedar as Recruitment Consultants. Thank you very much for your support in this, I look forward to working with you again in the future!”
“I cannot thank Cedar Recruitment enough for their professionalism, communicativeness, support, and for finding me the perfect job match! They’ve been a genuine partner for me throughout the whole process.”
“Cedar offers a flexible and autonomous environment for its employees. It offers a place for ambitious recruiters to work collaboratively in order to achieve personal and company goals with a lot of fun along the way.”
“Hugely impressed by the way Cedar go about their business in sourcing candidates and the matching process they go through which has proved to be an astounding success. We have over the course of the last 18 months brought in ten new people and it’s safe to say, the candidates we see from Cedar are always top of the pack. They are the ones that impress the most in the room and on the job, with some exceeding expectations and on the path to being our leaders of tomorrow. I’m genuinely really impressed in their methods on understanding the role, the recruiting manager and team and likewise candidates to really make sure the match it right.
We continue to deepen our relationships with them in areas such as devising recruitment and people strategies to make sure we ultimately make the right decisions and get the best for our business and its future; they have truly become a trusted partner of BT.”
“Having worked with a number of other recruiters over the years, Cedar were a refreshing change and a real delight. Their attention to detail, ensuring that candidate and client were a perfect fit, was second to none.”
“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.”
“I have used Cedar over the past ten years as both a client and then a candidate. They are always my first call as nine times out of ten they will come out on top. They seem to really understand the roles they are recruiting for and the candidates they have, which not only gets a great result, but often means they do it with the fewest potential candidates saving everyone’s time.”
