Will Doughty, Chief Executive Officer, Kaikoura District Council

Sheffield Search came through the EOI process and now that our new CEO is in place I am confident we chose the right Team to work with us.

Garry Webber, Mayor, Western Bay of Plenty District Council

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
