Client Testimonials

We valued the experience of the team which enabled them to offer sound perspectives and a comprehensive understanding of the market in NZ and overseas. Their timeline management and regular updates were also excellent. We would highly recommend Sheffield for their professionalism, team approach and ability to meet the needs of our organisation during the recruitment process.

Kelly Smith, St Kentigern Trust Board, Board Member

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!

Joanne Soderlund, Candidate, Grey District Council

I have a long relationship with Sheffield and with Louise and Mike, which means Sheffield knows me, and our business, well. Trust them, they know the market, and they know what they’re doing

Katrina Benedetti, GM People and Culture, Ravensdown

Sheffield has a strong understanding of complex sectors and are incredibly well-connected in local and offshore markets. Ian Taylor and his team are thoughtful and thorough. They have always conducted a professional and confidential process, securing highly experienced candidates for our consideration and appointment. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian and the team at Sheffield.

Julia Raue, Chair, Move Logistics

The added value to the process was high-level, trustworthy and had integrity - Sheffield gave us the tools to make our decision with confidence. I always felt supported by Sheffield and always knew Mike was at the end of the phone to ask any questions if I needed to.

Marie Black, Mayor, Hurunui District Council
