Executive Search, Assessment, Board & Leadership Advisory Services | New Zealand

I cannot recommend the Sheffield team highly enough. What impressed me most was their thoroughness at every stage of the process. They invested significant time upfront to understand not just the requirements, but the nuances of our business, our growth objectives, and the leadership qualities that would drive success in this position. Their focus on achieving the best outcome for Southern Cross Healthcare was evident throughout. They were relentless in their commitment, proactively sourcing exceptional candidates, providing thoughtful insights, and maintaining momentum even when the search became challenging. It wasn’t just about filling a position; they were genuinely invested in finding the right fit.

The benefits of Sheffield went beyond the professional services and frameworks for our appointment process, it also included access to their contacts and networks to ensure we gained the best applicant pool from which to find our best candidate. It is important to work with recruiters who really know your specific sector, and how to match up people with the right organisation.

The level of relationship management and client care exceeded my expectations. This included explanations of the process and costs, and checking in on our expectations and needs. It was a pleasure dealing with Nicholas Buck throughout the process. I would highly recommend Sheffield.

After going to market we selected Sheffield from previous experience and with the scale of this role, Louise’s market knowledge helped us make the decision. Managing different timezones, the festive season and that the interview team were based in Denmark elongated the process, however this was well managed by Louise. Regular updates from Louise and her understanding of what they were looking for impacted the great quality of candidates brought to the table. It was a seamless process with an excellent result.

I would have to say that Sheffield is the most professional well run recruitment agent that I have ever encountered. From a candidate perspective, the prompt communication all throughout the process was fantastic and the thing that stands out the most for me. There is nothing worse as a candidate than waiting around wondering when you might hear about each step in the process. It was the same when I dealt with Mike on a position a few years ago. Absolute gold standard!
