Client Testimonials

We had been looking for a best-in-class search firm in New Zealand to fill our President/Managing Director global role, with the right network and credentials and reached out to several. Sheffield and specifically Ian Taylor has been the most responsive and came across as caring and very personally invested.

Luba Domanova, Senior VP HR, Precisional LLC

I recently had the pleasure of working with Louise, Kelly and the team at Sheffield to recruit our new Manager – Science & Technology. Having experienced a recruitment process with Sheffield as a candidate myself, I was confident that the team would provide a service that was both professional and thorough. Sheffield were communicative throughout the process, ensuring we were kept up to date on progress. We were really impressed with the calibre of candidates, and were fully supported throughout the interview and selection process.

Abby Matthews, Director - Environment Quality, Taranaki Regional Council

‘I would highly recommend Sheffield as an executive recruitment agency. I have engaged with Sheffield and in particular Nicholas Buck as both a candidate and client. I have always been impressed with the high degree of professionalism, diligence and attention to detail.

Tom Williams, Chief Infrastructure Officer, Wellington City Council

Sheffield has real strength in the culture transformation and development area, which is why we decided to partner with them on the appointment of this newly established position. Sheffield provided a superb service – the whole process was flawless – it was easy, on time and excellently executed.

Kirstie Gardener, GM People and Safety, Lyttelton Port Company

Andrea dealt with all candidates in a very diplomatic and professional manner and was admired by the panel for her approach. The whole process was totally professional and there was nothing that could have been done better.

Colin Freeman, Chair, Rochester and Rutherford Hall
