“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.”

Optegra
“We recently retained Cedar to help us find a high calibre finance director within a very tight timescale. Cedar provided a shortlist of 5 excellent candidates within 10 working days, each one of which could have performed very well in the role. They managed the search process effectively and efficiently, ensuring that we were able to appoint our preferred candidate. I would have no hesitation in referring Cedar to any business looking to hire Senior Finance Professionals.”
Livingstone
“Cedar successfully place two very good candidates with us, one for the Head of Sourcing and the other Customer Development Manager. The recruiter took the time to understand our needs and our pains and successfully came up with the right candidates within strict time constraints. I would happily use Cedar again for our hiring needs as they were not pushy, forceful, or salesy, which is a breath of fresh air”
