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.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Cedar quickly understood our needs and requirements and was very responsive and thorough during the entire process presenting us with relevant candidates. It was a pleasure to work with Cedar.”

“We enlisted the help of Cedar for the recruitment of two Financial Controller Positions on both a permanent and interim basis, and they did a great job. Cedar knows their candidates extremely well and by listening to our requirements they were able to fully understand exactly what we were looking for. As a result, Cedar was able to deliver two excellent candidates who could not only undoubtedly do the job but who were also a brilliant fit for our company. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar and would definitely use them again when we are looking to recruit in the future.”

“Having dealt successfully with Cedar in the past, I was confident in appointing them to deliver this project and they again exceeded expectations. From start to finish they delivered a consultative and value added service, the culmination of which has meant we hired three great candidates. I have no hesitation in recommending Cedar.”
