What they’re saying about usSuccess stories from our valued candidates and clients
“I met with Cedar as we were struggling to fill the Interim Project Accountant position despite using other recruitment agencies for a number of weeks. After discussing our brief in detail with Cedar we were confident they understood the urgency of the project and knew exactly what skills/ experience we were looking for. They also understood the type of personality we needed to fit into our existing team. Cedar sent thought a shortlist of fantastic candidates who were immediately available that same afternoon. After a quick and efficient interview process we hired our perfect candidate and she started working with us on the Monday – the end to end process took just 4 working days. Cedar have access to an impressive database of interim candidates who are available at speed.”
“I have been working with Cedar over the last ten months, firstly as a candidate from Dubai looking to relocate back to the UK and then as a customer looking to bring on high caliber team members. Cedar looks after the best interests of their candidates and customers and have been very supportive. The candidates put forward have filled both permanent and temporary roles.”
“Cedar managed our most recent senior finance recruitment project. After taking a full briefing, they supplied candidates who matched the candidate specifications in terms of skill set and cultural fit. Cedar delivered on this important project in a highly efficient and professional manner and showed a level of enthusiasm and creativity above and beyond what I would call industry standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any senior recruitment project.”
“I approached Cedar to find a special candidate to help build a growing team. In an extremely tight timeframe, Cedar used their immense experience and connections to locate a benchmark candidate who fit culturally into our business and who had all the required skills. The biggest players on the market couldn’t get anywhere near to matching such a candidate and I believe we got the best person on the market at the time. What I also like about Cedar is their proactively and their confidence to tell you how it is, which not only minimises wasting time, but also adds value to the recruitment process.”
“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 chose to retain cedar on a critical and urgent recruitment campaign. We found them to be structured, efficient and genuinely consultative throughout the entire process and were impressed with the candidates that they introduced to us. Cedar talk about the importance of business partnering their clients and this was clearly the case when we worked with them. I would have no hesitation in working with them again or recommending their services to others.”
“We recently retained Cedar to help us find a high calibre finance director within a very tight timescale. Cedar provided a shortlist of 5 excellent candidates within 10 working days, each one of which could have performed very well in the role. They managed the search process effectively and efficiently, ensuring that we were able to appoint our preferred candidate. I would have no hesitation in referring Cedar to any business looking to hire Senior Finance Professionals.”
“Cedar helped me to recruit permanent finance professionals in my previous company who went on to become part of the talent pool. At Montessori St Nicholas, being commercial and financial is key to a Charity with trading subsidiaries that fund its social impact programmes. The team at Cedar put forward the right people, first time for both interim and permanent finance roles and are key to helping me build the finance team that we need for the future. For me, an ingredient to achieving that success is knowing that Cedar is a partner and not just a service provider.”
