Client Testimonials

We partnered with Sheffield due to their extensive experience in recruiting senior positions within the local government sector. I would have no hesitation recommending Sheffield. They were very professional, provided great communication and the whole process was seamless.

Mayor Kirsten Wise, Napier City Council

The level of relationship management and client care exceeded my expectations. This included explanations of the process and costs, and checking in on our expectations and needs. It was a pleasure dealing with Nicholas Buck throughout the process. I would highly recommend Sheffield.

Mark Bowater, Chair, NZ Recreation Association

Andrea dealt with all candidates in a very diplomatic and professional manner and was admired by the panel for her approach. The whole process was totally professional and there was nothing that could have been done better.

Colin Freeman, Chair, Rochester and Rutherford Hall

We partnered with Sheffield based on the quality of their presentation and advice provided within their proposal. We were impressed with the regular communication from Nicholas Buck and the guidance received throughout the process. We enjoyed working with an efficient and friendly team who were highly professional and communicated well throughout.

Dr Susan Calvert, Chief Executive Officer, Medical Sciences Secretariat

They are professional and provide good insight into candidates - I don’t feel as if I was being “sold” a candidate which is good in my books.? There was value having an intermediary when negotiating salary, and a lot of the value is created by trusting the consultant… I would certainly use Sheffield again.

Marcus Waters, GM Commercial and Partnerships, Antartcic Heritage Trust,
