Client Testimonials

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit for a crucial Country Manager role, and we were highly impressed by their professionalism and expertise. Throughout the process, they presented several high quality candidates, offering solid guidance that helped us navigate each step, from selection to appointment. Sheffield’s knowledge of the market and commitment to understanding our needs made them an invaluable partner.

Zoran Talevski, General Manager, AHI Carrier

We thought that we would have a challenge trying to find a senior health and safety manager for our vacant national position, however, this was not the case. We had a good variety of appropriate candidates presented to us for us to make our decision. This happened only through the thorough work carried out by Sheffield and their dedicated team.

Hans Fuchs, Group GM Concrete, Allied Concrete

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

The benefits of Sheffield went beyond the professional services and frameworks for our appointment process, it also included access to their contacts and networks to ensure we gained the best applicant pool from which to find our best candidate. It is important to work with recruiters who really know your specific sector, and how to match up people with the right organisation.

Mark Wilson, Executive Principal, Kristin School

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
