Listen. Advise. Deliver.

We retained cedar to help us manage a critical senior finance hire. They took a very comprehensive briefing, gave great advice on how best to approach the market, and then delivered a high-quality shortlist populated with candidates who had both the right skillset and the right personalities.

The whole process took only 6 weeks from project sign-off to offer and we secured a great candidate much quicker than I expected. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar as a genuinely value-adding recruitment partner.

“I have recruited several commercial finance professionals both on the interim and permanent side through Cedar.  I have continually been impressed with the quality of Cedar’s candidates and understanding they have demonstrated around match on cultural fit and skillset.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to up-skill their finance team.”

“Cedar has placed a number of strong candidates within our Finance team and we can always rely on their promptness, quality and professionalism.”

“Having worked with a number of recruiters finding Cedar was a real delight. Their attention to detail, ensuring that the client and candidate are a perfect fit, is second to none, and they were in regular contact throughout the whole process. Follow-ups pre and post-joining the new business were invaluable.”

Recruitment Challenge : Finding people from the right vertical

Roger Castle from CenturyLink explains that his biggest recruitment challenge is finding people from the right vertical –  finding both commercial experience and the right sector experience for the role.

“Despite a very specific and challenging brief Cedar managed to present a good range of top quality candidates for our consideration. They maintained a heavy involvement in each stage of the selection process and were always attentive to our needs. The quality of their advice, their candour and a consistent drive to focus on client requirements sets them apart from their competition.”

“I absolutely love working at Cedar. Everyone is so supportive and willing to help. There is such a lovely family feel and there is a great social side. We also have a great work life balance which is crucial.”

“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.”
