Client Testimonials

Andrea’s professionalism and understanding of our NPO was outstanding. This led to a number of high-quality candidates being presented to the Board for consideration.

Peter Wright, Board Chair, Donaldson Residential Trust

It was great to work with Mike again on a critical role for the MTF business. With the required preparation, patience and robust process the resulting successful placement has been first class.

Mark Darrow, Chair, Motor Trade Finance

Having placed our previous GM, Sheffield was familiar with our organisation’s requirements. This resulted in a smooth process that was professionally and successfully managed. We were happy with the outcome, and successfully appointed our new General Manager.

David Barker, Chair, Rural Livestock

Thank you Andrea and Jane for making this whole process so incredible! I want you to know that the way you both saw the process through from start to finish made me feel valued and supported every step of the way - so I really want to thank you for that.

Anonymous Candidate

Andrea is very knowledgeable around education recruitment. I would highly recommend Sheffield, the process took huge amounts of stress off the Board of Trustees.

Rebecca Methven, Chair, St Bedes College
