“We have partnered with Cedar now for a few recruitment projects and every time I have been extremely impressed by Cedar’s ability to source high quality candidates. Cedar have demonstrated his deep knowledge of our business by sourcing candidates who are not only a close fit technically, but also from our industry. Cedar always keeps me well briefed on the status of all candidates throughout the interview process and I feel they are a genuine business partner. It has been a pleasure to work with the team at Cedar as I have found them to be highly professional, genuine, consultative as well as having a good sense of humour! I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar.”

“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.”

“We engaged Cedar to assist us with a particularly specific brief. Their attention to the process was excellent, the candidates were all of 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.”

“Professional, excellent listeners and understand the exact needs of their customers. The Cedar team always go the extra mile and provide solid consultative advice. These are just a few reasons that I would not hesitate to recommend Cedar when looking for procurement talent or indeed for anyone looking to progress their own career.”

“I approached Cedar to find a special candidate to help build a growing team. In an extremely tight timeframe, Cedar used their immense experience and connections to locate a benchmark candidate who fit culturally into our business and who had all the required skills. The biggest players on the market couldn’t get anywhere near to matching such a candidate and I believe we got the best person on the market at the time. What I also like about Cedar is their proactively and their confidence to tell you how it is, which not only minimises wasting time, but also adds value to the recruitment process.”

“I’ve worked with Cedar on a number of recruitment opportunities over the last few years which, in an industry where the maxim that ‘you are only as good as your last assignment’ is particularly relevant, is testament to the quality of service that they provide. Cedar has made a conscious effort to understand my management philosophy and the things that are important to me. They also take the time to understand the corporate culture and the environment into which I am looking to recruit. This results in an efficient recruitment process, a relevant short list and appointments that have a fighting chance of success.”

“Belron UK recently engaged Cedar to support recruitment for an urgent interim requirement. Cedar quickly established our requirements, both technically and culturally and provided a shortlist of CVs along with succinct candidate profiles. This meant we were able to quickly appoint the right candidate for delivery of a key project and we will be working with Cedar again to fulfil other requirements across the business. It was a pleasure to partner with a professional agency who provided an outstanding service.”
