Client Testimonials

I would have to say that Sheffield is the most professional well run recruitment agent that I have ever encountered. From a candidate perspective, the prompt communication all throughout the process was fantastic and the thing that stands out the most for me. There is nothing worse as a candidate than waiting around wondering when you might hear about each step in the process. It was the same when I dealt with Mike on a position a few years ago. Absolute gold standard!

Joanne Soderlund, Candidate, Grey District Council

Louise was very responsive and read the nuances of the role extremely well, providing a timely, quality service. We couldn’t fault the process and would highly recommend Sheffield to other organisations.

Lesley Fleming, Acting GM People and Safety, Lyttelton Port Company

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 chose Sheffield for the recruitment of this role as we had used them previously. The attraction of candidates Sheffield were able to provide was a big benefit for us. Andrea had a very good understanding of the role and the team were very organised with their communications, with the interview process run very well. It was an enjoyable experience, and we have a great outcome.

Tony Ryall, Chief Executive, Beststart Educare

Person Recruited: Claire Daly, Regional Manager

As TradeZones Independent Director, I steered the Board towards appointing Sheffield based on other and recent excellent experiences with Ian Taylor and his team. Sheffield’s progress with the task to find a new General Manager was excellent. All round, I think the Board of TradeZone and I are well pleased with the approach, the cadence of the task, and the outcome, so have no hesitation in recommending Sheffield Search.

Mark Gilbert, Independent Director, TradeZone
