<h1>DE&amp;I / CSR</h1>

Raise the bar across your recruitment process, by selecting from a range of diversity recruitment features to facilitate more inclusive teams.
The reality is that for many businesses, diversity is still a nice to have not a strategic imperative. Cedar Search are proud to be different and love to work with organisations that share our passion.
Cedar embraces diversity and inclusion and seeks to promote the benefits in all of our business activities and has developed a business culture that reflects that belief. We continuously strive to level the playing field for executive and non-executive talent, finding opportunities for women, ethnic minority, and LGBT+ candidates.
Each and every Cedar Search employee commits to making a positive contribution towards diversity and inclusion not only in our own working environment but those of the organisations we work with.

Diverse teams think differently. When it comes to risk, that's important.

​Diversity and inclusion is central to an organisation&rsquo;s ability to attract, recruit and retain the talent needed to outperform competitors. Diverse groups make better, faster decisions with less bias and groupthink, and diverse groups are more creative and innovative. So if we believe that diverse teams make better, more considered decisions, our role is clear: to bring businesses and talented individuals together to build those high-performing, fantastically diverse senior teams.

​​Brodie is the grey one, Boris is the brown one!
Boris is a 4-year-old rescue dog with a heart of gold. One of the softest coats you&rsquo;ll ever touch, but only if you are lucky! Due to his background, only a handful of people have been lucky enough to touch him as he is still a little nervous around people. He is also super-fast and we think a Lurcher.
Brodie is a new addition to the family and is coming up to his first birthday! He is a cross between an Italian greyhound and a whippet. He loves to steal but not destroy any of your personal belongings, mainly slippers and hide them across the house! He has so much energy and will beg you to play with him 24/7! &nbsp;
