Listen. Advise. Deliver.

“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.”

“Cedar is a very customer focused, reliable and professional partner when it comes to sourcing talent. I’ve worked with them on a number of roles at GU and they demonstrated not only their speed of response but also the ability to present true talent.

They are quick to understand the needs of the client and marry this up with a deep knowledge of the finance talent pool.

I liked them and their grounded approach to the business.  They develop long term relationships based on trust and performance. I’ve have already recommended them as a very professional firm.”

“Having dealt successfully with Cedar in the past, I was confident in appointing them to deliver this project and they again exceeded expectations. From start to finish they delivered a consultative and value added service, the culmination of which has meant we hired three great candidates. I have no hesitation in recommending Cedar.”

“When I needed an interim Financial Controller at very short notice for my client, Dukes global, Cedar were the obvious choice. They were able to quickly understand the specific requirements that we had and within 48 hours, I had been sent five good quality CVs and “When I needed an interim Financial Controller at very short notice for my client, Dukes global, Cedar were the obvious choice.

“After struggling to recruit a Finance Manager with suitable restaurant experience, I was introduced to Cedar by our new MD and the step change in the both the quality of candidates and the focus/support from the team was immediately evident. They successfully placed a candidate, initially on a short term basis which subsequently became permanent. The professionalism and expertise that Cedar exude is impressive and is the reason why I haven’t looked elsewhere since that first recruit. From from both a business, and more recently a personal perspective, they offer impartial career guidance.”

“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.”

“Cedar has placed a number of strong candidates within our Finance team and we can always rely on their promptness, quality and professionalism.”

“Having known Howard Bentwood for a while, I can see his approach to recruitment has come through in Cedar. It can be easy for most recruitment professionals to achieve the basics in finding a candidate, however, Cedar spend time ensuring that they fully understand both a business and the position on offer. This means that Cedar is more likely to find a candidate that fits best and stays. Putting that together with some sensible discussion ensures the job gets done effectively.”
