  • Ian, Raewyn and Kelly did a tremendous job helping the Hockey New Zealand Board distill down the key skills we needed in our CEO, and ultimately assisted us with a comprehensive and efficient interview and selection process. We could not have asked for more.

    Mike Bignell, Chair, NZ Hockey - Auckland

  • For someone who has always taken the DIY approach to recruitment, letting go of such an important process wasn’t easy....I would definitely engage them again, and I am! No more DIY for me!!

    Simon Challies, Executive Director, BrainTree Trust - Christchurch

  • We found Sheffield to be outstanding in the calibre of candidates they brought to the table. Consequently we appointed outside the Local Govt sector and went for a private sector appointment. That has proven to be very successful.

    Grant Smith - Mayor, Palmerston North City Council - North Island

  • It is all about the people and Mike (Stenhouse) has built up a high level of trust in his relationship with the MTF Board. He provides a very thorough, credible and professional process which resulted in, in this case, three high calibre and appointable candidates to choose from.

    Mark Darrow, Chairman, Motor Trade Finance Limited - Christchurch

  • Sheffield Search’s service was highly professional, marked by a strong collaborative/partnership approach. Communication throughout the process was regular and full, and gave the board comfort of the progress being made.
    All these elements ensured not only a successful outcome but a series of relationships very well managed.

    Andrew Johnson, Chair, St Paul's Collegiate - North Island

  • Ian and the team clearly had extensive networks in the education sector which meant we were presented with candidates of exceptional quality and appropriate characteristics. They understood our requirements and led us through a recruitment exercise which was comprehensive, holistic and timely.

    Sharon Wards, Chair, Lindisfarne College Council - North Island

  • Andrea gave a very positive presentation and had been involved in several similar appointments. Based on this, we decided to partner with Sheffield for the appointment of the new Principal/Headmaster.
    I would strongly support another school deciding to use Sheffield for a similar appointment.

    Tony Deavoll, Chair, Shirley Boys' High School - Christchurch

  • I have a long relationship with Sheffield and with Louise and Mike, which means Sheffield knows me, and our business, well.
    Trust them, they know the market, and they know what they’re doing

    Katrina Benedetti, GM People and Culture, Ravensdown - Christchurch

  • I am very aware of how good the Sheffield Search facility is, and at this level, Search is a very important part of the process.
    There was also a value-add through Mike’s perceptibility – he is very astute when it comes to reading candidates

    Jane Huria, Board Chair, UniMed - Christchurch

  • 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 - South Island

  • Sheffield has real strength in the culture transformation and development area, which is why we decided to partner with them on the appointment of this newly established position. Sheffield provided a superb service – the whole process was flawless – it was easy, on time and excellently executed.

    Kirstie Gardener, GM People and Safety, Lyttelton Port Company - Christchurch

  • Ian Taylor and the Sheffield Search team stood out in the selection process as having the experience, knowledge of the market, capability and fit that we were looking for.
    I am very comfortable in recommending Sheffield Search as an Executive Search partner for any educational body recruiting for leadership positions.

    Phil Newman, Chair, Orewa College - Auckland

  • Sheffield’s support was invaluable in helping us replace our CEO who retired after 15 years. If you are looking for executive level appointments I highly recommend Sheffield and Katy in particular.

    John Gommans, Acting Chief Medical and Dental Officer, Hawkes Bay DHB

  • ‘I would highly recommend Sheffield as an executive recruitment agency. I have engaged with Sheffield and in particular Nicholas Buck as both a candidate and client. I have always been impressed with the high degree of professionalism, diligence and attention to detail.
