Listen. Advise. Deliver.

“Having worked with a number of other recruiters over the years, Cedar were a refreshing change and a real delight. Their attention to detail, ensuring that candidate and client were a perfect fit, was second to none.”

“Cedar is a pleasure to work with, I have worked with them on both ends of the spectrum where they headhunted me for my new role and also found me some great candidates for my team.”

“We enlisted the help of Cedar for the recruitment of two Financial Controller Positions on both a permanent and interim basis, and they did a great job. Cedar knows their candidates extremely well and by listening to our requirements they were able to fully understand exactly what we were looking for. As a result, Cedar was able to deliver two excellent candidates who could not only undoubtedly do the job but who were also a brilliant fit for our company. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar and would definitely use them again when we are looking to recruit in the future.”

Recruitment Challenge: Attracting talent with commercial finance experience

Nick Sambridge, Finance Director – IT and Transformation, explains that his biggest recruitment challenge for Post Office Ltd is attracting senior finance professionals with commercial experience.

“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.”

“Very supportive and grown-up environment Excellent training and progression routes available Inspiring and successful colleagues Very genuine and approachable CEO and Senior Leadership team Regular celebrated employee success Hybrid working model Continued company growth.”

“We worked with Cedar while recruiting for a senior finance position. I think two things separated Cedar from the rest; first was their ability to match candidates with the position; and second was the quality of discussion we had with them. It was really about finding the best person for the role rather than them selling a person into a position. It was our first engagement with Cedar and we will definitely be using their services again.”

“Working with Cedar as a candidate and client has been an excellent experience. As a candidate, I was provided with a thorough briefing of a potential client’s background and requirements, which helped to properly prepare for the all-important initial meetings. Conversely, when I required additional resource, Cedar were quick to understand my requirements and provide an outstanding choice of candidates who could hit the ground running and work under tight deadlines. An excellent service all round from Cedar.”
