Client Testimonials

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

Katy understood our concepts of leadership and I remember noting that that was one of the key differences between Sheffield and the other companies. Katy was most professional throughout the recruitment process and if I was recruiting again Katy would be our first and only call.

Simon Taylor, Director, Armstrong Downes Commercial

Sheffield is a trusted partner for recruitment. Sheffield provides tailored executive recruitment services, including extensive candidate research and utilising networks across New Zealand. Sheffield invest time to understand the needs of the organisation and the requirements of the role to ensure a successful appointment. The advice and guidance provided throughout the recruitment process was outstanding, coupled with exceptional candidate care. The transparent process and effective communication were ten out of ten. Thanks again for your amazing mahi.

Katie Church, Director People and Capability, Queenstown Lakes District Council

We felt a position at this level required expertise and skills and Sheffield could deliver on this. The process was well structured and Sheffield saved us alot of time through running the process instead of us. For a potentially difficult to fill role, we were very happy with the outcome and Will is exceptional.

Kent Krammer, General Manager NZ, Novus Glass

We are thrilled with the appointment of Tracy Evans-Tracy (or the successful candidate) who is exactly the ‘unicorn’ we were hoping to find. I have partnered with Sheffield and Louise many times for senior appointments and was reminded once more what fantastic, proactive customer service feels like in the recruitment space.

Lee Gardiner, Head of Growth and Performance, Connectics
