Client Testimonials

They are professional and provide good insight into candidates - I don’t feel as if I was being “sold” a candidate which is good in my books.? There was value having an intermediary when negotiating salary, and a lot of the value is created by trusting the consultant… I would certainly use Sheffield again.

Marcus Waters, GM Commercial and Partnerships, Antartcic Heritage Trust,

"Mike Stenhouse of Sheffield devoted considerable time and energy in discussion and enquiry, understanding the business and its growth and importantly interpreting the “glue” which has essentially kept the board and management close during the good times and bad. I have come out of this process confident of the appointment process and choice made, and grateful for the energy and guidance of Sheffield."

Craig Boyce, Chair, TransDiesel

On behalf of the Knox Trust Board, I wanted to convey our appreciation for your invaluable assistance with the recent recruitment process that led to Fionnagh’s appointment as our new CEO. From the very start, we were all incredibly impressed with Sheffield’s alignment with our core values, your willingness to listen to our requirements (and to challenge them when necessary), and the way in which you and your team went above and beyond in your efforts to ensure that the very best people were identified, shortlisted and interviewed. We are thrilled with Fionnagh’s appointment and thank you again to Sheffield for its crucial contribution to that outcome.

Bal Matheson, Chair, Knox Home Trust

The benefits of Sheffield went beyond the professional services and frameworks for our appointment process, it also included access to their contacts and networks to ensure we gained the best applicant pool from which to find our best candidate. It is important to work with recruiters who really know your specific sector, and how to match up people with the right organisation.

Mark Wilson, Executive Principal, Kristin School

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit our new Executive Principal because they are second to none at recruitment in the independent school sector. Ian Taylor is the doyen of recruiters in this sector. His experience in the industry and his knowledge of the market and Christ’s College was invaluable during the process. Sheffield’s astute and thoughtful analysis of the candidates was extremely beneficial as the process reached the business end of short list selection and we appreciated the team approach Sheffield adopted. We are extremely grateful to Sheffield in guiding us to such a good outcome for our School.

Hugh Lindo, Board Chair, Christ's College
