What they’re saying about usSuccess stories from our valued candidates and clients
“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.”
“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 Cedar for a number of years they have become the first port of call when I am looking to fill a position. They have consistently delivered a selection of high-quality and well-vetted candidates to the business and most importantly candidates who are appropriate for the role on offer. Clearly, a lot of thought and time goes in to this process and it is the mark of a great agency when the candidates are not only very targeted to the role but well prepared for the interview.
I have sourced both interims and permanent candidates and on the interim side, Cedar has the bench to be able to provide quality individuals quickly and efficiently. The absolute key to our relationship has been the deep understanding by Cedar of our business, what we are looking for in people, and being able to provide candidates who fit the roles and culture of our company.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Working with Cedar as a candidate and client has been an excellent experience. As a candidate, I was provided with a thorough briefing of a potential client’s background and requirements, which helped to properly prepare for the all-important initial meetings. Conversely, when I required additional resource, Cedar were quick to understand my requirements and provide an outstanding choice of candidates who could hit the ground running and work under tight deadlines. An excellent service all round from Cedar.”
“Cedar has been my personal agency of choice for the last 10 years and we instructed them exclusively to help in the recruitment of our Finance Manager. Due to the strict confidentiality surrounding the hire, Cedar exercised the upmost discretion when discussing the role with potential candidates and allowed us the use of their offices to conduct all interviews and discussions privately. We gave Cedar a very broad brief for the person we required, both in terms of experience and part-time / full-time contracts. By clearly understanding our business, Cedar gave sound advice on our options and provided a shortlist of very viable candidates. The quality provided was exceptional meaning we only needed to interview three candidates. This made our time investment to find the right person minimal and the process from initial meeting to offer stage took just three weeks. I would recommend Cedar for their efficient and highly effective service and will be using Cedar for any future hires we make.”
“Having worked with Cedar for several years they have become the first port of call when looking to fill a position. They have consistently delivered a selection of high-quality candidates. For interim placements, Cedar has the bench to provide quality individuals quickly and efficiently.”
