“Having worked with a number of other recruiters over the years, Cedar were a refreshing change and a real delight. Their attention to detail, ensuring that candidate and client were a perfect fit, was second to none.”

“I met with Cedar as we were struggling to fill the Interim Project Accountant position despite using other recruitment agencies for a number of weeks. After discussing our brief in detail with Cedar we were confident they understood the urgency of the project and knew exactly what skills/ experience we were looking for. They also understood the type of personality we needed to fit into our existing team. Cedar sent thought a shortlist of fantastic candidates who were immediately available that same afternoon. After a quick and efficient interview process we hired our perfect candidate and she started working with us on the Monday – the end to end process took  just 4 working days. Cedar have access to an impressive database of interim candidates who are available at speed.”

“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.”

“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 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 successfully place two very good candidates with us, one for the Head of Sourcing and the other Customer Development Manager. The recruiter took the time to understand our needs and our pains and successfully came up with the right candidates within strict time constraints. I would happily use Cedar again for our hiring needs as they were not pushy, forceful, or salesy, which is a breath of fresh air”

“We enlisted the help of Cedar for the recruitment of two Financial Controller Positions on both a permanent and interim basis, and they did a great job. Cedar knows their candidates extremely well and by listening to our requirements they were able to fully understand exactly what we were looking for. As a result, Cedar was able to deliver two excellent candidates who could not only undoubtedly do the job but who were also a brilliant fit for our company. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar and would definitely use them again when we are looking to recruit in the future.”

“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.”
