Client Testimonials

I have a long relationship with Sheffield and with Louise and Mike, which means Sheffield knows me, and our business, well. Trust them, they know the market, and they know what they’re doing

Katrina Benedetti, GM People and Culture, Ravensdown

We used Sheffield for the recruitment of our Business Systems Manager and I really enjoyed working with Andrea. The interviews were run smoothly and she really got us thinking about the questions we were asking to get the right candidate. The process was smooth and well run, we’re really happy with the result.

Stephen Vidulich, Head of Technology, Enviro NZ

Person Recruited: Trevor Jones, Business Systems Manager

Thank you for the very thorough and professional process that you followed with selection of an EA for College House. Your understanding of our business needs, attention to detail and timely, accurate communication was superb. We are delighted with the outcome.

Richard Taylor, College House. Principal

"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

I cannot recommend the Sheffield team highly enough. What impressed me most was their thoroughness at every stage of the process. They invested significant time upfront to understand not just the requirements, but the nuances of our business, our growth objectives, and the leadership qualities that would drive success in this position. Their focus on achieving the best outcome for Southern Cross Healthcare was evident throughout. They were relentless in their commitment, proactively sourcing exceptional candidates, providing thoughtful insights, and maintaining momentum even when the search became challenging. It wasn’t just about filling a position; they were genuinely invested in finding the right fit.

David Simpson, Chief of Strategy & Partnerships, Southern Cross Healthcare Group
