Client Testimonials

Andrea took time to ensure she really understood what we were looking for, so that the candidates presented to us met our criteria. The advice from Sheffield was invaluable and we would certainly use them again for any key appointments.

Pam Brian, General Manager, White Fox and Jones

I partnered with Sheffield on this appointment because I have had a longstanding relationship with Sheffield over the last 30 years and trust the professionalism and the quality of the outcomes. The discovery process and long listing set the scene for a successful search. We only got our chosen candidate because of search and the professional approach of Sheffield. This was important as the shortlisted candidates would not have responded to advertising.

John Beveridge, Independent Chair, NZ Scaffolding Limited

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

It was great to work with Mike again on a critical role for the MTF business. With the required preparation, patience and robust process the resulting successful placement has been first class.

Mark Darrow, Chair, Motor Trade Finance

I cannot speak highly enough of the expertise and professionalism of Mike Stenhouse and the team at Sheffield when assisting the Club in this appointment...It was a pleasure working with, and being assisted by, the Sheffield team.

Sarah Pearson, Committe Member, Arrowtown Golf Club
