Who We Work With

“Having worked with a number of recruiters finding Cedar was a real delight. Their attention to detail, ensuring that the client and candidate are a perfect fit, is second to none, and they were in regular contact throughout the whole process. Follow-ups pre and post-joining the new business were invaluable.”

“I have worked with Cedar on both sides of the process, having been headhunted for my current role and they also found me some great candidates for my team. Cedar is the most proactive recruiter I have come across in a long time, always transparent, honest, and great work ethics.”

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.

“Howard and his team at Cedar are a pleasure to work with. Throughout the recruitment process they put our needs first until we found the right candidate. Their approach is refreshing: it centres on building long-term relationships and not just about making quick gain in recruitment fees. I would not hesitate in using them again.”

“I approached Cedar to find a special candidate to help build a growing team. In an extremely tight timeframe, Cedar used their immense experience and connections to locate a benchmark candidate who fit culturally into our business and who had all the required skills. The biggest players on the market couldn’t get anywhere near to matching such a candidate and I believe we got the best person on the market at the time. What I also like about Cedar is their proactively and their confidence to tell you how it is, which not only minimises wasting time, but also adds value to the recruitment process.”

“Hugely impressed by the way Cedar go about their business in sourcing candidates and the matching process they go through which has proved to be an astounding success. We have over the course of the last 18 months brought in ten new people and it’s safe to say, the candidates we see from Cedar are always top of the pack. They are the ones that impress the most in the room and on the job, with some exceeding expectations and on the path to being our leaders of tomorrow. I’m genuinely really impressed in their methods on understanding the role, the recruiting manager and team and likewise candidates to really make sure the match it right.

We continue to deepen our relationships with them in areas such as devising recruitment and people strategies to make sure we ultimately make the right decisions and get the best for our business and its future; they have truly become a trusted partner of BT.”

“We commissioned Cedar to fill a challenging Senior Strategy Manager role which required a very specific set of competencies. Cedar not only provided a fast and efficient service but were a pleasure to work with, responsive and accommodating of our recruitment timescales. They identified relevant individuals in a highly  professional manner and constantly demonstrated a clear commitment to succeed. I would not hesitate to recommend Cedar and will be working with then again in the future.”

“We worked with Cedar to fill a finance role on our team, we needed a high potential candidate with more than just a great CV. Cedar helped us fill the role quickly by understanding not only the technical requirements but also our company culture. They helped us find multiple candidates who fit our team and had the skills needed to succeed and grow in our organization.”
