Client Testimonials

Ian and the team clearly had extensive networks in the education sector which meant we were presented with candidates of exceptional quality and appropriate characteristics. They understood our requirements and led us through a recruitment exercise which was comprehensive, holistic and timely.

Sharon Wards, Chair, Lindisfarne College Council

I recently had the pleasure of working with Louise, Kelly and the team at Sheffield to recruit our new Manager – Science & Technology. Having experienced a recruitment process with Sheffield as a candidate myself, I was confident that the team would provide a service that was both professional and thorough. Sheffield were communicative throughout the process, ensuring we were kept up to date on progress. We were really impressed with the calibre of candidates, and were fully supported throughout the interview and selection process.

Abby Matthews, Director - Environment Quality, Taranaki Regional Council

In our last engagement Sheffield brought us a selection of outstanding candidates and the biggest challenge was selecting from such an incredible group of high quality people, but they provided additional tools and advice to assist with the final selection.

Peter Bell, GM People and Culture, NZ Law Society

Sheffield made the process for us recruiting this role so easy with their expert guidance and ability to find high calibre candidates. We found their professional processes particularly useful to navigate a strong candidate field and to really ensure we employed the right person for the role.

Francesca Eathorne, Chief Operations Office, Antarctic Heritage Trust

We have previously partnered with Sheffield and been impressed with their service and professionalism. I appreciate Louise’s honesty when working with her and the capability of the Search team works very well. Sheffield is well connected across a variety of industries, and I knew with this being a specialised role, Sheffield would have their fingers on the pulse. This role had tight timeframes that we highlighted from the outset and Sheffield were able to deliver on this.
