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 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

I recently had the pleasure of working with Louise, Kelly and the team at Sheffield to recruit our new Manager – Science & Technology. Having experienced a recruitment process with Sheffield as a candidate myself, I was confident that the team would provide a service that was both professional and thorough. Sheffield were communicative throughout the process, ensuring we were kept up to date on progress. We were really impressed with the calibre of candidates, and were fully supported throughout the interview and selection process.

Abby Matthews, Director - Environment Quality, Taranaki Regional Council

The biggest value-add we experienced from Louise was the thoroughness, quality and depth of the candidate reports – they are detailed and insightful and are always in the context of understanding the role and the organisation. I highly recommend Sheffield, especially for the managerial and technically specialist roles, which is where they add real value.

Gary Andrews, Manager People and Capability, Invercargill City Council

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
