Client Testimonials

Nick provided sound insight to enable full preparation for the ensuing interviews, as well as asking the challenging questions to ensure suitability for the role. While extremely professional, his easy-going manner and great support team behind him made the employment process an enjoyable one.

Adrian van Dyk, General Manager, Resonant

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

Sheffield Search came through the EOI process and now that our new CEO is in place I am confident we chose the right Team to work with us.

Garry Webber, Mayor, Western Bay of Plenty 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

Sheffield made the process for us recruiting this role so easy with their expert guidance and ability to find high calibre candidates. We found their professional processes particularly useful to navigate a strong candidate field and to really ensure we employed the right person for the role.
