Client Testimonials

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

After going to market we selected Sheffield from previous experience and with the scale of this role, Louise’s market knowledge helped us make the decision. Managing different timezones, the festive season and that the interview team were based in Denmark elongated the process, however this was well managed by Louise. Regular updates from Louise and her understanding of what they were looking for impacted the great quality of candidates brought to the table. It was a seamless process with an excellent result.

Ritchie Legge, GM Human Resources, PGG Wrightson Seeds/DLF

Andrea is very professional and also knows us well, she has invested considerable time getting to know us and can give input on things like fit. It is an investment in getting the right resource which is so valuable, especially in the current marketplace.

Christine Prince, Chair, Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust

I just wanted to thank you for all your help in the process. Obviously you need to be objective and fair for every applicant, but you do so in such a professional manner whilst being hugely supportive and lovely to talk/correspond with. So... thank you. I genuinely feel you have helped me land what really is, a dream job for me.

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.

Grant McKenzie, Chief Executive, Allied Press
