“I was impressed with the responsiveness of the Cedar team. Our recruitment was completed to a tight timescale and we are very pleased with the appointment we made.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

​“We chose to retain cedar on a critical and urgent recruitment campaign. We found them to be structured, efficient and genuinely consultative throughout the entire process and were impressed with the candidates that they introduced to us. Cedar talk about the importance of business partnering their clients and this was clearly the case when we worked with them. I would have no hesitation in working with them again or recommending their services to others.”

“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.”

“The Qualified Finance Team at Cedar possess a deep knowledge of the charity sector and have a wide and varied network of well-qualified individuals at their fingertips.   What I valued was that they took the time to understand our organisation and the requirements for the role which made the candidates presented to us already a good fit.  This was also helpful if they felt a candidate particularly shared our values and the same passion for what we do.

Having a partnership with Cedar significantly improved our time-to-hire and by working with them exclusively, they delivered the perfect candidate in just 2.5 weeks.  I will continue to use them in the future and would also recommend them.”
