What they’re saying about usSuccess stories from our valued candidates and clients
“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.”
“We worked with Cedar on a challenging position that other recruiters had struggled to fill. They quickly understood the brief and sourced high quality candidates. We are very pleased with the process and outcome.”
“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.”
“It was a pleasure to work with Cedar to find a full time CFO. We were looking for a very specific type of candidate, which they very much understood and definitely delivered on. From our initial consultation, through to the selection, shortlist and negotiation, they made everything very simple and straight forward.”
“The team was able to step in immediately, fully understanding the brief and our culture, and within a week had provided a number of very strong candidates. Within 2 weeks we had concluded the process and recruited the perfect person for this role, with all expectations exceeded, for this crucial time-critical role.”
“I’ve used Cedar for recruiting into my team for several years, with them having placed more than half of my current team. They take the time to understand not only the technical requirements but also the personal requirements so that all candidates I see from Cedar are a good team fit as well as having the relevant experience and skills. I can always rely on Louise and her team!”
“We first tried Cedar when we needed a high quality candidate, fast. They didn’t disappoint, and unlike many other agencies we had tried, provided us a highly credible shortlist of suitable candidates. We could have filled the role several times over. Since then, Cedar hasn’t disappointed and each time we’ve needed to add to the team, Cedar have delivered credible candidates. They seem to know the candidates they represent well, and they have handled each of our engagements with swift efficiency, which has taken the pain out of recruiting for senior candidates. Happily recommend Cedar to anyone who doesn’t enjoy the recruitment process.”
“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.”
