What they’re saying about usSuccess stories from our valued candidates and clients
“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
“Having worked with Cedar for a number of years they have become the first port of call when I am looking to fill a position. They have consistently delivered a selection of high-quality and well-vetted candidates to the business and most importantly candidates who are appropriate for the role on offer. Clearly, a lot of thought and time goes in to this process and it is the mark of a great agency when the candidates are not only very targeted to the role but well prepared for the interview.
I have sourced both interims and permanent candidates and on the interim side, Cedar has the bench to be able to provide quality individuals quickly and efficiently. The absolute key to our relationship has been the deep understanding by Cedar of our business, what we are looking for in people, and being able to provide candidates who fit the roles and culture of our company.”
“Despite a very specific and challenging brief Cedar managed to present a good range of top quality candidates for our consideration. They maintained a heavy involvement in each stage of the selection process and were always attentive to our needs. The quality of their advice, their candour and a consistent drive to focus on client requirements sets them apart from their competition.”
“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.”
