Client Testimonials

Sheffield’s support was invaluable in helping us replace our CEO who retired after 15 years. If you are looking for executive level appointments I highly recommend Sheffield and Katy in particular.

John Gommans, Acting Chief Medical and Dental Officer, Hawkes Bay DHB

I wish to applaud Sheffield for their professional, considerate and thorough approach to recruitment. Sheffield's approach of personal contact, detailed candidate assessment and rigorous evaluation provided me with the assurance I was seeking. It was a pleasure to work with Louise Green and her team

Dave Ward, Group Manager - 3 Waters, Dunedin City Council

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit our new Executive Principal because they are second to none at recruitment in the independent school sector. Ian Taylor is the doyen of recruiters in this sector. His experience in the industry and his knowledge of the market and Christ’s College was invaluable during the process. Sheffield’s astute and thoughtful analysis of the candidates was extremely beneficial as the process reached the business end of short list selection and we appreciated the team approach Sheffield adopted. We are extremely grateful to Sheffield in guiding us to such a good outcome for our School.

Hugh Lindo, Board Chair, Christ's College

Tania's industry knowledge and candidate care were exceptional. The process was handled with discretion and professionalism throughout.

Tom Lynch, Project Director, Rubix

I sung the Sheffield’s teams praises to the recruitment board and will reiterate that I found the process highly: Professional, Personal - felt like a person not just an applicant, Collaborative, Cohesive

Duane Sutton, Candidate
