“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.”

Recruitment Challenge: Attracting talent with commercial finance experience

Nick Sambridge, Finance Director – IT and Transformation, explains that his biggest recruitment challenge for Post Office Ltd is attracting senior finance professionals with commercial experience.

“When our Managed Service Provider (MSP) was unable to provide suitable candidates for Denmark and Portugal, I tasked Cedar to support us across two projects. All our roles across both countries were filled within a short timescale. Cedar was informative and engaging throughout the process, working well with the Hiring Managers. I highly recommend Cedar; we would have been lost without them.”

​“It was a pleasure to work with Cedar to find a full time CFO. We were looking for a very specific type of candidate, which they very much understood and definitely delivered on. From our initial consultation, through to the selection, shortlist and negotiation, they made everything very simple and straight forward.”

“I have worked with Cedar on both sides of the process, having been headhunted for my current role and they also found me some great candidates for my team. Cedar is the most proactive recruiter I have come across in a long time, always transparent, honest, and great work ethics.”

“When I needed an interim Financial Controller at very short notice for my client, Dukes global, Cedar were the obvious choice. They were able to quickly understand the specific requirements that we had and within 48 hours, I had been sent five good quality CVs and “When I needed an interim Financial Controller at very short notice for my client, Dukes global, Cedar were the obvious choice.

Cedar matched us with a high calibre candidate who had the technical skills and cultural fit that we needed. I am very happy with the appointment.”

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