Client Testimonials

Ian Taylor led the team responsible for our board appointments. Ian is an outstanding leader and his fingerprints are embedded in our successful search. What stood out for me was Sheffield’s ability to gain a close understanding of our business, quickly translate that into rigorous and targeted research and search activity whilst communicating seamlessly and constructively throughout the entire process.

Mark Newman, former Board Member, MOVe Logistics

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

Andrea’s professionalism and understanding of our NPO was outstanding. This led to a number of high-quality candidates being presented to the Board for consideration.

Peter Wright, Board Chair, Donaldson Residential Trust

We have recently partnered with Sheffield South Island to undertake a placement for our senior Health and Safety leader. Sheffield worked closely with us to source a number of quality candidates and we made a successful appointment to our business. I would like to thank Mike, Louise and Georgie for their professional approach and support to achieve a successful outcome.

Craig Coburn, GM People and Capability, ANZCO

Sheffield proved to be a great choice for our CEO recruitment. Council felt well supported in attracting high calibre applicants and progressing our preferred candidate through to completing the formal appointment. I felt Louise really understood our person requirements and the unique challenges of recruitment into a small rural council. I think this attention to detail coupled with great recruitment research and insight really built my confidence in the process.

Jamie Cleine, Mayor, Buller District Council
