“Our most recent hire nearly didn’t happen. Only through the tenacity and insight of Howard and his team at Cedar were we finally persuaded to interview the candidate who we eventually hired, otherwise his CV could still be sitting on the ‘unlikely to be appropriate pile’. Cedar offer a genuinely consultative service and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

​“We chose to retain cedar on a critical and urgent recruitment campaign. We found them to be structured, efficient and genuinely consultative throughout the entire process and were impressed with the candidates that they introduced to us. Cedar talk about the importance of business partnering their clients and this was clearly the case when we worked with them. I would have no hesitation in working with them again or recommending their services to others.”

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.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We first tried Cedar when we needed a high quality candidate, fast. They didn’t disappoint, and unlike many other agencies we had tried, provided us a highly credible shortlist of suitable candidates. We could have filled the role several times over. Since then, Cedar hasn’t disappointed and each time we’ve needed to add to the team, Cedar have delivered credible candidates. They seem to know the candidates they represent well, and they have handled each of our engagements with swift efficiency, which has taken the pain out of recruiting for senior candidates. Happily recommend Cedar to anyone who doesn’t enjoy the recruitment process.”

“We have worked with Cedar now on a number of roles and have found the service in terms of regular contact, and quality of candidates to be of a very high standard. I was impressed with the time they took to understand our recruitment requirements and they found a candidate that met our needs and was a perfect fit for the team.

I would certainly be happy to recommend Cedar as I would be confident the service would be exemplary.”
