Success Stories
“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 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.”
“We have partnered with Cedar now for a few recruitment projects and every time I have been extremely impressed by Cedar’s ability to source high quality candidates. Cedar have demonstrated his deep knowledge of our business by sourcing candidates who are not only a close fit technically, but also from our industry. Cedar always keeps me well briefed on the status of all candidates throughout the interview process and I feel they are a genuine business partner. It has been a pleasure to work with the team at Cedar as I have found them to be highly professional, genuine, consultative as well as having a good sense of humour! I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar.”
“We engaged Cedar to assist us with a particularly specific brief. Their attention to the process was excellent, candidates were all of a high quality and they gave good quality advice to us throughout the search. Having worked in the industry I know first-hand how much effort they put into the search. Well done and thanks.”
“The Cedar team are brilliant and gifted recruiters, who really care, listen and focus, to best understand their clients’ needs; and amazingly translates them into customized research. They know how to get the best out of people! What really impressed me, is just how efficient and polished the process is. It’s without hesitation that I recommend Cedar if you are looking for the best Recruiters.”
“Cedar quickly and efficiently supplied us with two shortlists of international candidates, from which we hired two exceptional people. Cedar provided consultative advice throughout the process and their transparent approach helped us secure our chosen candidates. I was deeply impressed with their full understanding of our requirements and the speed at which they worked without sacrificing quality. I would thoroughly recommend them.”
“Cedar managed our most recent senior finance recruitment project. After taking a full briefing, they supplied candidates who matched the candidate specifications in terms of skill set and cultural fit. Cedar delivered on this important project in a highly efficient and professional manner and showed a level of enthusiasm and creativity above and beyond what I would call industry standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any senior recruitment project.”
“We first tried Cedar when we needed a high quality candidate, fast. They didn’t disappoint, and unlike many other agencies we had tried, provided us a highly credible shortlist of suitable candidates. We could have filled the role several times over. Since then, Cedar hasn’t disappointed and each time we’ve needed to add to the team, Cedar have delivered credible candidates. They seem to know the candidates they represent well, and they have handled each of our engagements with swift efficiency, which has taken the pain out of recruiting for senior candidates. Happily recommend Cedar to anyone who doesn’t enjoy the recruitment process.”

Cedar’s recruitment process is tailored, transparent, and outcomes-driven. We start by understanding your business, team structure, and hiring goals. From there, our specialist consultants identify and engage talent through trusted networks – not just job boards – ensuring a strong technical and cultural match.
We manage the full process, from shortlisting and interviews to offer management and onboarding support. Whether it’s a permanent, interim, or contract role, we move quickly to deliver the right finance professionals – ready to make an impact.
Permanent hires are typically long-term additions to your finance team, offering stability, leadership continuity, and strategic direction – especially important for growth or transformation plans. Interim finance professionals, on the other hand, are ideal for covering urgent gaps, navigating periods of change, or delivering project-based outcomes. Cedar offers both solutions, helping you assess what’s right for your business needs, timeline, and budget.
Recruiting a Finance Director usually takes between 4 to 10 weeks, depending on the complexity of the role, market conditions, and your internal processes. Interim FD appointments can often be made within a few days, while permanent hires may take longer if they involve multiple stakeholder interviews or notice periods. Cedar helps speed up the process by engaging pre-qualified talent from our network – often before roles go to market.
