What they’re saying about usSuccess stories from our valued candidates and clients
“I was very impressed with the level of service we received from the team at Cedar. From the outset, the approach was both personal and professional. Having met with Cedar initially, they understood exactly what I was looking for and were able to work within a short time-frame to provide suitable candidates for the roles I was looking to fill. The candidates were all very suitable, my only issue was having to make a choice given the quality of the individuals I had been presented with!
Cedar were responsive to any queries I had and provided information requested within the same day. Having experienced their service previously, I returned to Cedar as soon as I had a requirement for an additional resource, and again, the service was very efficient and the post filled within two days of my request. I would definitely recommend Cedar and will be using their services again should the need arise in the future.”
“Cedar managed our most recent senior finance recruitment project. After taking a full briefing, they supplied candidates who matched the candidate specifications in terms of skill set and cultural fit. Cedar delivered on this important project in a highly efficient and professional manner and showed a level of enthusiasm and creativity above and beyond what I would call industry standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any senior recruitment project.”
Recruitment Challenge : Finding people from the right vertical
Roger Castle from CenturyLink explains that his biggest recruitment challenge is finding people from the right vertical – finding both commercial experience and the right sector experience for the role.
“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.”
“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 engaged Cedar to assist us with a particularly specific brief. Their attention to the process was excellent, candidates were all of a 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. Well done and thanks.”
“Cedar offers a flexible and autonomous environment for its employees. It offers a place for ambitious recruiters to work collaboratively in order to achieve personal and company goals with a lot of fun along the way.”
“I have recruited several commercial finance professionals both on the interim and permanent side through Cedar. I have continually been impressed with the quality of Cedar’s candidates and understanding they have demonstrated around match on cultural fit and skillset. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to up-skill their finance team.”
