Client Testimonials

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

We partnered with Sheffield based on the quality of their presentation and advice provided within their proposal. We were impressed with the regular communication from Nicholas Buck and the guidance received throughout the process. We enjoyed working with an efficient and friendly team who were highly professional and communicated well throughout.

Dr Susan Calvert, Chief Executive Officer, Medical Sciences Secretariat

A thorough recruitment process was very well planned and executed, provided a broad range of applicants for selection and a comprehensive candidate review analysis for board consideration. This was managed on a tight deadline over the Christmas/New Year period and culminated in a successful appointment. I would highly recommend Sheffield.

Kerry Wells, Chair, United Flowers Growers Limited

We settled on Sheffield unanimously based on previous experience, knowledge of the principals of the business, and its professionalism....the process was thorough, professional and actually was made quite easy for us.

Mark GIlbert, Chair, PlantTech Research Insititute

Andrea is very knowledgeable around education recruitment. I would highly recommend Sheffield, the process took huge amounts of stress off the Board of Trustees.

Rebecca Methven, Chair, St Bedes College
