Client Testimonials

It is always a pleasure dealing with a professional, knowledgeable, personable and efficient group of people that understand our business and recruitment needs and our “fit”.

Guy Gaddum, Chair, QRS

We valued the experience of the team which enabled them to offer sound perspectives and a comprehensive understanding of the market in NZ and overseas. Their timeline management and regular updates were also excellent. We would highly recommend Sheffield for their professionalism, team approach and ability to meet the needs of our organisation during the recruitment process.

Kelly Smith, St Kentigern Trust Board, Board Member

We partnered with Sheffield for this important role as we have had previous great experience with Ian Taylor and the team. Sheffield always provide us with great communication and regular updates. To others considering partnering with Sheffield, you will find they provide consistently good service and are very confidential/professional.

Jan Pederen, Head of People, Performance and Culture

Person Recruited: Craig Rice, Chief Opearting and Finance Officer

When recruiting for our Chief Executive we’d heard from other clients that Sheffield were one of the best. They had also just completed hiring an ELT role and I was incredibly impressed by the quality of the process and standard of the candidates shortlisted. The process was incredible. It was clear right from the beginning and even in the tough political environment, we were still provided with a wonderful list of candidates, I can hand on heart say that Sheffield is the best Consultancy in Wellington. They treat their clients and candidates with the highest respect, and go completely out of their way to find the best person for the role

Tory Whanau, Mayor, Wellington City Council

Katy and Nick identified and brought forward a very good selection of candidates, with a good mix of capabilities and strengths. This provided a lot of choice for us in the recruitment process. We found that Sheffield provided timely and sound advice throughout the process. I would definitely use Sheffield again.

Mike Hargreaves, DCE - Strategy and Insights, Worksafe NZ
