Client Testimonials

I was very happy with the process you ran Mike. My interactions with both you and Gina were excellent – good, clear, prompt communications, and great people to deal with.

Anonymous Candidate

I knew of Sheffield’s reputation in the Education sector and had heard great things. Everything worked well throughout this assignment and the communications were top notch. The reach you were able to achieve to candidates was exceptional and we never would have been able to get to those candidates, this was a huge advantage.

Cathy Ewing, Chair, Outdoor Education of New Zealand

Person Recruited: Rachel Honeycombe, International Student Recruitment and Marketing Manager

Sheffield has a strong understanding of complex sectors and are incredibly well-connected in local and offshore markets. Ian Taylor and his team are thoughtful and thorough. They have always conducted a professional and confidential process, securing highly experienced candidates for our consideration and appointment. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian and the team at Sheffield.

Julia Raue, Chair, Move Logistics

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

Nuku Ora chose to partner with Sheffield because their recruitment proposal really encapsulated our need, and they were able to articulate that they understood where we were at on our organisational journey....We are delighted with our successful candidate.

Dianna Taylor, Chair, Nuku Ora
