“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!”

Recruitment Challenge: finding quality candidates with the right cultural fit

Richard Kozlowski, Jimmy Choo, discusses his biggest recruitment challenge: finding quality candidates with the right cultural fit quickly.

“Working with the part-qualified and transactional finance team at Cedar was a real pleasure. They took the time to understand the business’ culture and the specific requirements of a challenging role.  That care was evident in the quality of the candidates’ CVs and continued when I met them in person during the interviews. One thing I particularly appreciated was that the team was always available by phone or email and they dealt with things quickly. I look forward to working with Cedar again in future and would recommend them without hesitation.”

“I absolutely love working at Cedar. Everyone is so supportive and willing to help. There is such a lovely family feel and there is a great social side. We also have a great work life balance which is crucial.”

“​I highly recommend Cedar. They have been a great help in finding the right fit for me, enabling a meaningful transition to a new exciting role. During the process they were very attentive, kept me updated and made sure I had the support I needed.”

“We retained cedar to help us find a high calibre CFO. Cedar met with our senior management team to fully understand the complexities of both the organisation and role and to get a real sense of our culture. They provided us with expert guidance on how we should approach the candidate market and then quickly created a strong short list from which we subsequently hired.

Cedar pride themselves on being true consultants and genuine value adding partners. We were very impressed by the quality of the candidates they presented and the pace at which they worked. Cedar’s thoroughness and consultative advice through the process gave us a great sense of confidence that this critical hire was being managed by true professionals.

I will work with cedar again and would have no hesitation in recommending them to any business looking to recruit senior finance and procurement professionals.”

“The Cedar team are brilliant and gifted recruiters, who really care, listen and focus, to best understand their clients’ needs; and amazingly translates them into customized research. They know how to get the best out of people! What really impressed me, is just how efficient and polished the process is. It’s without hesitation that I recommend Cedar if you are looking for the best Recruiters.”

“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.”
