Client Testimonials

Thank you Andrea and Jane for making this whole process so incredible! I want you to know that the way you both saw the process through from start to finish made me feel valued and supported every step of the way - so I really want to thank you for that.

Anonymous Candidate

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!

Greg Knowles, Chair, Yachting NZ

Person Recruited: Steve Armitage, Chief Executive Officer

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.

Pam Brian, General Manager, White Fox and Jones

We valued the experience of the team which enabled them to offer sound perspectives and a comprehensive understanding of the market in NZ and overseas. Their timeline management and regular updates were also excellent. We would highly recommend Sheffield for their professionalism, team approach and ability to meet the needs of our organisation during the recruitment process.

Kelly Smith, St Kentigern Trust Board, Board Member

I knew of Sheffield’s reputation in the Education sector and had heard great things. Everything worked well throughout this assignment and the communications were top notch. The reach you were able to achieve to candidates was exceptional and we never would have been able to get to those candidates, this was a huge advantage.

Cathy Ewing, Chair, Outdoor Education of New Zealand

Person Recruited: Rachel Honeycombe, International Student Recruitment and Marketing Manager
