Client Testimonials

"Mike Stenhouse was great to work with during the short-listing process. His service was timely, he added a valuable perspective to the interview panel, and liaised effectively with long and short-listed candidates"

David Stevens, General Manager People, Culture & Communication, PowerNet

I am very aware of how good the Sheffield Search facility is, and at this level, Search is a very important part of the process. There was also a value-add through Mike’s perceptibility – he is very astute when it comes to reading candidates

Jane Huria, Board Chair, UniMed

For this role we needed the market knowledge we knew Sheffield had. The Search process brought a great calibre of candidates. Sheffield’s knowledge of the applicants, overall experience in the market and handling of the process was a huge benefit for us. We had a tricky timeframe with Christmas looming but Louise was able to deliver within the timeframes. We are very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend Sheffield to others.

Hamish Dobbie, Chief Executive Officer, Hurunui District Council

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
