Sheffield know the market well and run a robust process. Jane was very professional, took away the pain of recruitment and I was pleased with how the whole process was run.

We chose Sheffield for the recruitment of this role as we had used them previously. The attraction of candidates Sheffield were able to provide was a big benefit for us. Andrea had a very good understanding of the role and the team were very organised with their communications, with the interview process run very well. It was an enjoyable experience, and we have a great outcome.

Person Recruited: Claire Daly, Regional Manager

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.
