“Despite a very specific and challenging brief Cedar managed to present a good range of top quality candidates for our consideration. They maintained a heavy involvement in each stage of the selection process and were always attentive to our needs. The quality of their advice, their candour and a consistent drive to focus on client requirements sets them apart from their competition.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We instructed Cedar to help us hire a Financial Analyst – Global Operations position as we were not finding candidates with the right skill-set coupled with the right cultural/personality fit for our business. We also had an urgent need to fill the role and ideally wanted a candidate on-board within three months. Working with Cedar was a revelation, they sent through three excellent CVs and we met with two great candidates and took both through the final stage interviews resulting in us making an offer to a truly excellent candidate.  Cedar offer a very fast, efficient and highly communicative service. The whole process took just 10 days – a great experience!”

“Cedar were incredibly responsive and took the time to understand our needs. Their advice was sound and the candidates high quality. Within 2 weeks of contacting Cedar, we had a Head of Finance in post who we are very pleased with. I’d thoroughly recommend them.”

“Following a failed open recruitment process for a media and marketing procurement manager, Cedar were recommended to me by another charity and I was very happy with the service I received. Cedar matched us with a high calibre candidate who had the technical skills and cultural fit that we needed. I am very happy with the appointment.”
