Problems We SolveFinding good people is only part of it. A successful search means understanding your environment, what the hire needs to deliver, and the evidence that someone can actually do it. These are the problems we hear most.
Hundreds of Applicants. A Handful Who Can Do the Job
We filter for technical depth, scale and commercial context, then test everyone ourselves, so you only meet the few worth your time.
The Best People Aren’t Applying
We map Staff, Principal and leadership communities and approach people directly. Most of the people we place weren’t actively looking.
Your AI Strategy Isn’t Reaching Production
We find people who have deployed, monitored and scaled live systems, plus the MLOps and ML platform skills to get models out of notebooks.
Your Roadmap Is Bigger Than Your Team
We build targeted teams, permanent or contract, around the priorities with the most delivery risk.
Scarce Candidates Get Several Offers
We use market insight to shape your offer, pay and process, and do the technical qualifying up front so you can move fast.
You’re Paying a Consultancy for Knowledge You Should Own
We help you bring critical knowledge in-house, or add flexible contractors focused on outcomes.

Success Stories
“We had an urgent requirement to find an Interim Corporate Finance Analyst to be based in our High Wycombe office. The successful candidate needed to have a very specific skillset as well as extensive experience in a niche area of corporate finance and M&A. Due to our specific requirements and the location, we knew it may have been difficult for us to find the right candidate and we enlisted the help of Cedar. They completely understood what we were looking for but didn’t have a candidate who was immediately available for this location. Cedar quickly actioned an advertising campaign to attract the best talent in the market.
Cedar hit the nail on head – one candidate, one interview and the position was filled with in one week.
I was extremely impressed with their knowledge of the market and speed at which they delivered.”
February 2018
“I have worked with Cedar for a short time but have quickly forged a very good working relationship. Cedar took the time to understand the needs of my business and worked quickly and accurately to fill any vacancies that they have worked on.”
May 2018
“I have been working with Cedar on couple of roles and they are an outstanding recruiter. I am so grateful for all the help that Cedar has given me and how patient the team have been with us. I would highly recommend Cedar for any candidate or company.”
“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 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.”
“Hats off to you on this one. The candidate you supplied is a great advert for Cedar. “
“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.”
“I cannot thank Cedar Recruitment enough for their professionalism, communicativeness, support, and for finding me the perfect job match! They’ve been a genuine partner for me throughout the whole process.”
