“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.”

“Due to Generator Group’s continued success and future growth plans, I engaged Cedar to support us with the recruitment of an Interim Procurement Transformation specialist. I was impressed with their understanding of what Generator, as a group, were looking to achieve and valued their advice and guidance on the skill-set required to transform procurement within our business internationally. Cedar is well networked within their niche and quickly provided a shortlist of  senior candidates with deep knowledge of our market which we subsequently hired from. I would not hesitate to recommend Cedar.”

“Cedar’s recruitment service is impeccable. Whenever we request candidates, the Cedar team go through all the CVs available to them and only send me relevant candidate profiles for the role. This saves me infinite amounts of time as I never have to review a CV or interview a candidate who is unsuitable for the role. The team are always on hand to give advice and give regular updates on developments with candidates – even when they are out of the office or on leave! The standard of the people they provide is extremely high and 99% of the time we recruit the candidate Cedar puts forward.”

“We worked with Cedar to fill a finance role on our team, we needed a high potential candidate with more than just a great CV. Cedar helped us fill the role quickly by understanding not only the technical requirements but also our company culture. They helped us find multiple candidates who fit our team and had the skills needed to succeed and grow in our organization.”

“We met with Cedar to describe the role and allow them to query, challenge and clarify as appropriate. Cedar also directly assessed the environment and expectations placed on a candidate and judged the support such candidate may realistically expect to receive in a very challenging situation. As a result, the shortlist of interviewees Cedar organised for us to meet within the week was outstanding and testimony to the care and attention received from the original investment! Prompt, focused, empathetic advice and service, couldn’t ask for more.”

“I have used Cedar over the past ten years as both a client and then a candidate. They are always my first call as nine times out of ten they will come out on top. They seem to really understand the roles they are recruiting for and the candidates they have, which not only gets a great result, but often means they do it with the fewest potential candidates saving everyone’s time.”

“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.”
