Listen. Advise. Deliver.

“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.”

“I came to know Cedar when they placed me as a candidate a number of years ago, and have used them a number of times since then. They have always taken the time to understand the dynamics of the role and culture of the team and the organisation. They also understand that time is precious, and have always provided high quality shortlists and well briefed candidates. They are my first ‘go to’ option when I am recruiting in the UK, and have placed a number of successful people with me.”

“We worked with Cedar while recruiting for a senior finance position. I think two things separated Cedar from the rest; first was their ability to match candidates with the position; and second was the quality of discussion we had with them. It was really about finding the best person for the role rather than them selling a person into a position. It was our first engagement with Cedar and we will definitely be using their services again.”

“I had the pleasure of being supported by Cedar across all levels of Finance recruitment from part qualified through to senior hires. At all the stages of the process, it was clear they had a fundamental understanding of the calibre of individuals we were after as well as working together with us to give useful insight and market knowledge. This allowed us to be competitive in market place when it came to top talent. I was impressed with the knowledge of the business they had and the strong relationship they had built with key stakeholders. They gave me the confidence t that they could inform and advise the business without my intervention. I would highly recommend Cedar and look forward to work again with them in the future.”

“We commissioned Cedar to fill a challenging Senior Strategy Manager role which required a very specific set of competencies. Cedar not only provided a fast and efficient service but were a pleasure to work with, responsive and accommodating of our recruitment timescales. They identified relevant individuals in a highly  professional manner and constantly demonstrated a clear commitment to succeed. I would not hesitate to recommend Cedar and will be working with then again in the future.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Hugely impressed by the way Cedar go about their business in sourcing candidates and the matching process they go through which has proved to be an astounding success. We have over the course of the last 18 months brought in ten new people and it’s safe to say, the candidates we see from Cedar are always top of the pack. They are the ones that impress the most in the room and on the job, with some exceeding expectations and on the path to being our leaders of tomorrow. I’m genuinely really impressed in their methods on understanding the role, the recruiting manager and team and likewise candidates to really make sure the match it right.

We continue to deepen our relationships with them in areas such as devising recruitment and people strategies to make sure we ultimately make the right decisions and get the best for our business and its future; they have truly become a trusted partner of BT.”
