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.

“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.”

“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.”

“Howard and his team at Cedar are a pleasure to work with. Throughout the recruitment process they put our needs first until we found the right candidate. Their approach is refreshing: it centres on building long-term relationships and not just about making quick gain in recruitment fees. I would not hesitate in using them again.”

“I have worked with Cedar on both sides of the process, having been headhunted for my current role and they also found me some great candidates for my team. Cedar is the most proactive recruiter I have come across in a long time, always transparent, honest, and great work ethics.”

“When our Managed Service Provider (MSP) was unable to provide suitable candidates for Denmark and Portugal, I tasked Cedar to support us across two projects. All our roles across both countries were filled within a short timescale. Cedar was informative and engaging throughout the process, working well with the Hiring Managers. I highly recommend Cedar; we would have been lost without them.”

“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.”

“It’s been a pleasure to engage with Cedar on our most recent hire. The role had been vacant for some time and other agencies had struggled to provide candidates for us. The Part-Qualified team at Cedar however, were able to arrange a shortlist of candidates within a matter of days of me reaching out to them and ultimately the role was filled with someone who is making a real difference to our organisation.”
