Client Testimonials

We had used Sheffield before in the search for a Trustee and we felt we could rely on Sheffield to get the job done. We knew Sheffield would get out into the market and the search would be thorough. It was a very pleasant and professional experience.

Rebecca Lindo, Chair, The Piano

Sheffield has the knowledge, trust and expertise. The communication was clear and I had complete trust that the process would go well.

Luis Arevalo, Catholic Social Services Manager, Catholic Diocese of Christchurch

For this role we needed the market knowledge we knew Sheffield had. The Search process brought a great calibre of candidates. Sheffield’s knowledge of the applicants, overall experience in the market and handling of the process was a huge benefit for us. We had a tricky timeframe with Christmas looming but Louise was able to deliver within the timeframes. We are very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend Sheffield to others.

Hamish Dobbie, Chief Executive Officer, Hurunui District Council

Tania's industry knowledge and candidate care were exceptional. The process was handled with discretion and professionalism throughout.

Tom Lynch, Project Director, Rubix

NZR has used Sheffield for previous Board appointments and based on the positive experience and outcome this led us to partnering with them again. We found Sheffield to be professional, prompt and agile – great to deal with.

Andrea Brunner, Chief People Safety and Wellbeing Officer, New Zealand Rugby
