Client Testimonials

We recently partnered with Sheffield to find a new Chief Executive for Central Lakes Trust. Sheffield's professional and rigorous process resulted in a high number of suitably qualified candidates and we were delighted with the calibre of the final appointment. Louise Green from Sheffield was a pleasure to work with - she made the process easy for us and was very responsive to our needs over the Christmas/ New Year period. I would highly recommend Sheffield.

Hetty Van Hale, Chair, Central Lakes Trust

"We could not have managed the process without Sheffield - their advertising and recruitment strategy exceeded expectations. If you are looking for executive level appointments I highly recommend Sheffield and Katy in particular."

John Gommans, Chair, Stroke Foundation NZ

Sheffield has real strength in the culture transformation and development area, which is why we decided to partner with them on the appointment of this newly established position. Sheffield provided a superb service – the whole process was flawless – it was easy, on time and excellently executed.

Kirstie Gardener, GM People and Safety, Lyttelton Port Company

The level of relationship management and client care exceeded my expectations. This included explanations of the process and costs, and checking in on our expectations and needs. It was a pleasure dealing with Nicholas Buck throughout the process. I would highly recommend Sheffield.

Mark Bowater, Chair, NZ Recreation Association

Ian, Raewyn and Kelly did a tremendous job helping the Hockey New Zealand Board distill down the key skills we needed in our CEO, and ultimately assisted us with a comprehensive and efficient interview and selection process. We could not have asked for more.

Mike Bignell, Chair, NZ Hockey
