YNZ requested proposals from 3 consultancies. Above all, Sheffield stood out as the consultancy with the right experience and a strong market reputation to match. Sheffield invested the time necessary to learn about YNZ, our culture and our requirements. Ian Taylor, from Sheffield, is widely respected and undertook to be fully immersed in leading our project (which he delivered on). My recommendation would be, get Ian Taylor on the team!

Person Recruited: Steve Armitage, Chief Executive Officer

"We could not have managed the process without Sheffield - their advertising and recruitment strategy exceeded expectations. If you are looking for executive level appointments I highly recommend Sheffield and Katy in particular."

John Gommans, Chair, Stroke Foundation NZ

Nuku Ora chose to partner with Sheffield because their recruitment proposal really encapsulated our need, and they were able to articulate that they understood where we were at on our organisational journey....We are delighted with our successful candidate.

Dianna Taylor, Chair, Nuku Ora

For this role we needed the market knowledge we knew Sheffield had. The Search process brought a great calibre of candidates. Sheffield’s knowledge of the applicants, overall experience in the market and handling of the process was a huge benefit for us. We had a tricky timeframe with Christmas looming but Louise was able to deliver within the timeframes. We are very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend Sheffield to others.

Hamish Dobbie, Chief Executive Officer, Hurunui District Council

Andrea took time to ensure she really understood what we were looking for, so that the candidates presented to us met our criteria. The advice from Sheffield was invaluable and we would certainly use them again for any key appointments.
