Client Testimonials

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.

Francesca Eathorne, Chief Operations Office, Antarctic Heritage Trust

We partnered with Sheffield based on the quality of their presentation and advice provided within their proposal. We were impressed with the regular communication from Nicholas Buck and the guidance received throughout the process. We enjoyed working with an efficient and friendly team who were highly professional and communicated well throughout.

Dr Susan Calvert, Chief Executive Officer, Medical Sciences Secretariat

I recently had the pleasure of working with Louise, Kelly and the team at Sheffield to recruit our new Manager – Science & Technology. Having experienced a recruitment process with Sheffield as a candidate myself, I was confident that the team would provide a service that was both professional and thorough. Sheffield were communicative throughout the process, ensuring we were kept up to date on progress. We were really impressed with the calibre of candidates, and were fully supported throughout the interview and selection process.

Abby Matthews, Director - Environment Quality, Taranaki Regional Council

The New Zealand Brain Research Institute is grateful for your recent assistance in recruiting and placing directors for our Board. We were very pleased with the thorough and seamless process that you followed which resulted in two excellent directors joining us, in full alignment with our brief. We look forward to working with you in the future.
