Client Testimonials

From an applicant’s perspective, Andrea was very good at explaining the process and what was expected of me at each stage. Andrea’s feedback was also very beneficial and made me feel very comfortable, with no additional stress on the day or leading up to interviews.

Tim Grocott, Principal, Shirley Boys High School

I would recommend partnering with Sheffield. They make the end-to-end process so easy and make sure the candidates are updated on progress all the time. At this challenging time of getting great talent, Sheffield makes sure the processes are quick and easy - both for me as the hiring manager and the candidates.

Anton Youngman, General Manager Sector Insights, Ministry of Justice

After going to market we chose Sheffield to lead the appointment process for our Chief Executive Officer as we felt comfortable with Louise. The whole process was seamless with a strong pool of candidates and great communication from the team at Sheffield.

Nigel Bowen, Mayor, Timaru District Council

Louise was very responsive and read the nuances of the role extremely well, providing a timely, quality service. We couldn’t fault the process and would highly recommend Sheffield to other organisations.

Lesley Fleming, Acting GM People and Safety, Lyttelton Port Company

I sung the Sheffield’s teams praises to the recruitment board and will reiterate that I found the process highly: Professional, Personal - felt like a person not just an applicant, Collaborative, Cohesive

Duane Sutton, Candidate
