What they’re saying about usSuccess stories from our valued candidates and clients
“We instructed Cedar to help us hire a Financial Analyst – Global Operations position as we were not finding candidates with the right skill-set coupled with the right cultural/personality fit for our business. We also had an urgent need to fill the role and ideally wanted a candidate on-board within three months. Working with Cedar was a revelation, they sent through three excellent CVs and we met with two great candidates and took both through the final stage interviews resulting in us making an offer to a truly excellent candidate. Cedar offer a very fast, efficient and highly communicative service. The whole process took just 10 days – a great experience!”
“Having known Howard Bentwood for a while, I can see his approach to recruitment has come through in Cedar. It can be easy for most recruitment professionals to achieve the basics in finding a candidate, however, Cedar spend time ensuring that they fully understand both a business and the position on offer. This means that Cedar is more likely to find a candidate that fits best and stays. Putting that together with some sensible discussion ensures the job gets done effectively.”
“Cedar is a very customer focused, reliable and professional partner when it comes to sourcing talent. I’ve worked with them on a number of roles at GU and they demonstrated not only their speed of response but also the ability to present true talent.
They are quick to understand the needs of the client and marry this up with a deep knowledge of the finance talent pool.
I liked them and their grounded approach to the business. They develop long term relationships based on trust and performance. I’ve have already recommended them as a very professional firm.”
“The Cedar team are brilliant and gifted recruiters, who really care, listen and focus, to best understand their clients’ needs; and amazingly translates them into customized research. They know how to get the best out of people! What really impressed me, is just how efficient and polished the process is. It’s without hesitation that I recommend Cedar if you are looking for the best Recruiters.”
“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.”
“Working with the part-qualified and transactional finance team at Cedar was a real pleasure. They took the time to understand the business’ culture and the specific requirements of a challenging role. That care was evident in the quality of the candidates’ CVs and continued when I met them in person during the interviews. One thing I particularly appreciated was that the team was always available by phone or email and they dealt with things quickly. I look forward to working with Cedar again in future and would recommend them without hesitation.”
“Cedar is a pleasure to work with, I have worked with them on both ends of the spectrum where they headhunted me for my new role and also found me some great candidates for my team.”
“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.”
