Client Testimonials

We thought that we would have a challenge trying to find a senior health and safety manager for our vacant national position, however, this was not the case. We had a good variety of appropriate candidates presented to us for us to make our decision. This happened only through the thorough work carried out by Sheffield and their dedicated team.

Hans Fuchs, Group GM Concrete, Allied Concrete

We have enjoyed our experience....everyone was very approachable, efficient with their work and time and always available. We would happily use Sheffield again".

Jan Early, Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation, Chair

We chose to partner with Sheffield on the appointment of a Communications Manager based on the fact that Sheffield have established an excellent relationship with the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, and really “get” our organisation. As a faith based not-for-profit organisation our requirements don’t always fit the typical recruitment profile, but Andrea really understands our business, our people and how we operate, which is of key importance when finding good candidates.

Simon Thompson, General Manager, Catholic Diocese of Christchurch

Ian Taylor and the Sheffield Search team stood out in the selection process as having the experience, knowledge of the market, capability and fit that we were looking for. I am very comfortable in recommending Sheffield Search as an Executive Search partner for any educational body recruiting for leadership positions.

Phil Newman, Chair, Orewa College

Mike and Louise, and their team at Sheffield, made the process of finding the right applicant for our new tier two Chief Operating Officer role feel like a ‘walk in the park’.

Joanna Cranness, People, Safety and Wellbeing Manager, Tasman District Council
