What they’re saying about usSuccess stories from our valued candidates and clients
“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.”
Pret A Manger
“The Qualified Finance Team at Cedar possess a deep knowledge of the charity sector and have a wide and varied network of well-qualified individuals at their fingertips. What I valued was that they took the time to understand our organisation and the requirements for the role which made the candidates presented to us already a good fit. This was also helpful if they felt a candidate particularly shared our values and the same passion for what we do.
Having a partnership with Cedar significantly improved our time-to-hire and by working with them exclusively, they delivered the perfect candidate in just 2.5 weeks. I will continue to use them in the future and would also recommend them.”
