Recruitment Challenge : Finding people from the right vertical

Roger Castle from CenturyLink explains that his biggest recruitment challenge is finding people from the right vertical –  finding both commercial experience and the right sector experience for the role.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Our most recent hire nearly didn’t happen. Only through the tenacity and insight of Howard and his team at Cedar were we finally persuaded to interview the candidate who we eventually hired, otherwise his CV could still be sitting on the ‘unlikely to be appropriate pile’. Cedar offer a genuinely consultative service and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“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.”

“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.”
