Sheffield is proud to support our community

We offer sponsorships and pro-bono contributions to New Zealand enterprises that are making a positive impact.

Sheffield has a reputation for a high quality approach to executive search, not only in terms of their well organised plan, but the genuine effort and follow through in implementing that plan and keeping their client well informed. Taituara wanted to take a specific and careful approach to the recruitment of our new CEO and Sheffield’s approach was well suited to this. The extra bonus is that Sheffield Director Wellington Katy Antequil and her colleague Nicholas Buck are a joy to work with.

Barbara McKerrow, Wellington Representative, Taituara

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.

Richard Sudell, Chair, NZ Brain Research Institute

Sheffield's previous reputation led me to using them again. The whole process flowed well from the initial brief and I would highly recommend Sheffield, and Mike Stenhouse or Jane Pollitt to anyone without hesitation.

Colin Weatherall, Acting Chair, Central South Island Fish and Game

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

Sheffield know the market well and run a robust process. Jane was very professional, took away the pain of recruitment and I was pleased with how the whole process was run.
