What they’re saying about usSuccess stories from our valued candidates and clients
“Following a failed open recruitment process for a media and marketing procurement manager, Cedar were recommended to me by another charity and I was very happy with the service I received. Cedar matched us with a high calibre candidate who had the technical skills and cultural fit that we needed. I am very happy with the appointment.”
Save The Children
“Cedar successfully place two very good candidates with us, one for the Head of Sourcing and the other Customer Development Manager. The recruiter took the time to understand our needs and our pains and successfully came up with the right candidates within strict time constraints. I would happily use Cedar again for our hiring needs as they were not pushy, forceful, or salesy, which is a breath of fresh air”

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.
Post Office Ltd
“I met with Cedar as we were struggling to fill the Interim Project Accountant position despite using other recruitment agencies for a number of weeks. After discussing our brief in detail with Cedar we were confident they understood the urgency of the project and knew exactly what skills/ experience we were looking for. They also understood the type of personality we needed to fit into our existing team. Cedar sent thought a shortlist of fantastic candidates who were immediately available that same afternoon. After a quick and efficient interview process we hired our perfect candidate and she started working with us on the Monday – the end to end process took just 4 working days. Cedar have access to an impressive database of interim candidates who are available at speed.”

“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.”

“Cedar has been my personal agency of choice for the last 10 years and we instructed them exclusively to help in the recruitment of our Finance Manager. Due to the strict confidentiality surrounding the hire, Cedar exercised the upmost discretion when discussing the role with potential candidates and allowed us the use of their offices to conduct all interviews and discussions privately. We gave Cedar a very broad brief for the person we required, both in terms of experience and part-time / full-time contracts. By clearly understanding our business, Cedar gave sound advice on our options and provided a shortlist of very viable candidates. The quality provided was exceptional meaning we only needed to interview three candidates. This made our time investment to find the right person minimal and the process from initial meeting to offer stage took just three weeks. I would recommend Cedar for their efficient and highly effective service and will be using Cedar for any future hires we make.”
Celador
“We worked with Cedar on a challenging position that other recruiters had struggled to fill. They quickly understood the brief and sourced high quality candidates. We are very pleased with the process and outcome.”
“We recently retained Cedar to help us find a high calibre finance director within a very tight timescale. Cedar provided a shortlist of 5 excellent candidates within 10 working days, each one of which could have performed very well in the role. They managed the search process effectively and efficiently, ensuring that we were able to appoint our preferred candidate. I would have no hesitation in referring Cedar to any business looking to hire Senior Finance Professionals.”
