Client Testimonials

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.

Francesca Eathorne, CEO, Antarctic Heritage Trust

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit our new Executive Principal because they are second to none at recruitment in the independent school sector. Ian Taylor is the doyen of recruiters in this sector. His experience in the industry and his knowledge of the market and Christ’s College was invaluable during the process. Sheffield’s astute and thoughtful analysis of the candidates was extremely beneficial as the process reached the business end of short list selection and we appreciated the team approach Sheffield adopted. We are extremely grateful to Sheffield in guiding us to such a good outcome for our School.

Hugh Lindo, Board Chair, Christ's College

I was very happy with the process you ran Mike. My interactions with both you and Gina were excellent – good, clear, prompt communications, and great people to deal with.

Anonymous Candidate

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

Sheffield’s support was invaluable in helping us replace our CEO who retired after 15 years. If you are looking for executive level appointments I highly recommend Sheffield and Katy in particular.

John Gommans, Acting Chief Medical and Dental Officer, Hawkes Bay DHB
