Client Testimonials

Andrea is very professional and also knows us well, she has invested considerable time getting to know us and can give input on things like fit. It is an investment in getting the right resource which is so valuable, especially in the current marketplace.

Christine Prince, Chair, Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust

Sheffield delivered in every aspect of the process, showed the utmost professionalism, were a pleasure to work with and most importantly we were able to appoint a Chief Executive that we knew came from a crop second to none and fitted our job description to a tee.

Greg Lang, Mayor, Carterton District Council

The particular points of difference in working with Sheffield were their ability to quickly and accurately identify our needs, their general responsiveness and excellent in-house team who could provide specific insight and skills. Their sensitivity at a difficult time for the school, and addressing this head-on in terms of branding and appropriate messaging in all outward-facing material and response to candidate queries was outstanding. I would recommend Sheffield without question in supporting schools in the recruitment of senior roles.

Johanna Clark, Human Resources Manager, Dilworth Trust Board

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

Sheffield have become our agency of choice when recruiting for senior leadership roles. Katy, Nick and the team invest upfront in understanding our brief and importantly they have developed an indepth understanding of our business.

David Lanham, Chief Executive, Palmerston North Airport Limited
