“Cedar quickly and efficiently supplied us with two shortlists of international candidates, from which we hired two exceptional people. Cedar provided consultative advice throughout the process and their transparent approach helped us secure our chosen candidates. I was deeply impressed with their full understanding of our requirements and the speed at which they worked without sacrificing quality. I would thoroughly recommend them.”

“Cedar have greatly assisted me in building the team I need to deliver the business requirements in a challenging environment. The team have taken the time to get to know me and my requirements achieving a high level of successful recruitment. They are dependable and high in integrity, and go the extra mile to support me and they work hard to make recruitment for me as smooth as possible. They never complain when I give them an impossible task and, when I was in need of immediate short term staffing assistance; the team were quick to help. They are very effective at their job and it’s a pleasure to recommend Cedar as accomplished recruiting professionals.”

We retained cedar to help us manage a critical senior finance hire. They took a very comprehensive briefing, gave great advice on how best to approach the market, and then delivered a high-quality shortlist populated with candidates who had both the right skillset and the right personalities.

The whole process took only 6 weeks from project sign-off to offer and we secured a great candidate much quicker than I expected. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar as a genuinely value-adding recruitment partner.

“Cedar’s recruitment service is impeccable. Whenever we request candidates, the Cedar team go through all the CVs available to them and only send me relevant candidate profiles for the role. This saves me infinite amounts of time as I never have to review a CV or interview a candidate who is unsuitable for the role. The team are always on hand to give advice and give regular updates on developments with candidates – even when they are out of the office or on leave! The standard of the people they provide is extremely high and 99% of the time we recruit the candidate Cedar puts forward.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I was very impressed with the level of service we received from the team at Cedar. From the outset, the approach was both personal and professional. Having met with Cedar initially, they understood exactly what I was looking for and were able to work within a short time-frame to provide suitable candidates for the roles I was looking to fill. The candidates were all very suitable, my only issue was having to make a choice given the quality of the individuals I had been presented with!

Cedar were responsive to any queries I had and provided information requested within the same day. Having experienced their service previously, I returned to Cedar as soon as I had a requirement for an additional resource, and again, the service was very efficient and the post filled within two days of my request. I would definitely recommend Cedar and will be using their services again should the need arise in the future.”

“Recruiting in Procurement was new for me coming from a Finance background and having previously managed a stable procurement team.

Cedar has helped me to recruit two roles in my new Procurement team: an interim IT Procurement Manager and a permanent Procurement Analyst and on both occasions Louise has made the process as easy and efficient as possible.

For the interim IT Procurement Manager, after discussing my requirements, they sent me the CV of the perfect candidate who was available on short notice and experienced in the area. They organised a meeting with the candidate within days and even the culture matched my organisation. I hired the candidate immediately for a start on the following Monday. The candidate is doing a great job in her role and is an asset to the team.

For the Procurement Analyst, I asked Cedar for help after having a bad experience with another recruitment agency due to the specific nature of the role.

They provided a short list of candidates that were spot on and despite one candidate disappointingly accepting an offer somewhere else, the new recruit is starting this week.

Cedar’s ability to understand requirements both technically and in relation to procurement competencies along with Cedar’s effective processes have delivered success for my team.”
