“We recently retained Cedar to help us find a high calibre finance director within a very tight timescale. Cedar provided a shortlist of 5 excellent candidates within 10 working days, each one of which could have performed very well in the role. They managed the search process effectively and efficiently, ensuring that we were able to appoint our preferred candidate. I would have no hesitation in referring Cedar to any business looking to hire Senior Finance Professionals.”

“We engaged with Cedar for the hiring of a Finance Manager in one of our portfolio companies. The team I worked with demonstrated a deep understanding of the role’s needs and great professionalism throughout the process. What we liked the most about Cedar was that, despite the very narrow brief of the role, they managed to introduce a very diverse set of suitable candidates, each of whom had unique strengths to contribute, beyond the role’s requirements. The diversity of the candidates introduced contributed to us being even more confident in our final candidate choice. We would highly recommend Cedar as Recruitment Consultants. Thank you very much for your support in this, I look forward to working with you again in the future!”

“We engaged Cedar to assist us with a particularly specific brief. Their attention to the process was excellent, the candidates were all of high quality and they gave good quality advice to us throughout the search.  Having worked in the industry I know first-hand how much effort they put into the search.”

“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.”

Recruitment Challenge: Finding candidates who understand the complexities of a multi-site business.

Jackie Freeman, Strada, explains that her biggest recruitment challenge is finding candidates who understand the complexities of the financial analysis for a multi-site retail business.

“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.”

“Having worked with a number of other recruiters over the years, Cedar were a refreshing change and a real delight. Their attention to detail, ensuring that candidate and client were a perfect fit, was second to none.”

“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.”
