Client Testimonials

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

A thorough recruitment process was very well planned and executed, provided a broad range of applicants for selection and a comprehensive candidate review analysis for board consideration. This was managed on a tight deadline over the Christmas/New Year period and culminated in a successful appointment. I would highly recommend Sheffield.

Kerry Wells, Chair, United Flowers Growers Limited

We had been looking for a best-in-class search firm in New Zealand to fill our President/Managing Director global role, with the right network and credentials and reached out to several. Sheffield and specifically Ian Taylor has been the most responsive and came across as caring and very personally invested.

Luba Domanova, Senior VP HR, Precisional LLC

Having placed our previous GM, Sheffield was familiar with our organisation’s requirements. This resulted in a smooth process that was professionally and successfully managed. We were happy with the outcome, and successfully appointed our new General Manager.

David Barker, Chair, Rural Livestock

Sheffield has a reputation for a high quality approach to executive search, not only in terms of their well organised plan, but the genuine effort and follow through in implementing that plan and keeping their client well informed. Taituara wanted to take a specific and careful approach to the recruitment of our new CEO and Sheffield’s approach was well suited to this. The extra bonus is that Sheffield Director Wellington Katy Antequil and her colleague Nicholas Buck are a joy to work with.

Barbara McKerrow, Wellington Representative, Taituara
