Client Testimonials

We liked having a team appointed to look after us. Having two recruitment processes, the follow-on and consistency was important. Jane and Gina were a great team, keeping us updated and in touch with how the process was progressing. Jane was a very good interviewer and the calibre of the Search candidates with the second process was outstanding.

Karen Price, Chair, Aotea Electric Auckland

We partnered with Sheffield for this important role as we have had previous great experience with Ian Taylor and the team. Sheffield always provide us with great communication and regular updates. To others considering partnering with Sheffield, you will find they provide consistently good service and are very confidential/professional.

Jan Pederen, Head of People, Performance and Culture

Person Recruited: Craig Rice, Chief Opearting and Finance Officer

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

Nuku Ora chose to partner with Sheffield because their recruitment proposal really encapsulated our need, and they were able to articulate that they understood where we were at on our organisational journey....We are delighted with our successful candidate.

Dianna Taylor, Chair, Nuku Ora

The added value to the process was high-level, trustworthy and had integrity - Sheffield gave us the tools to make our decision with confidence. I always felt supported by Sheffield and always knew Mike was at the end of the phone to ask any questions if I needed to.

Marie Black, Mayor, Hurunui District Council
