Client Testimonials

Sheffield once again delivered an outcome that we’re very happy with. I have used Sheffield and worked with Andrea over the last 10 years and have had excellent service and results each time. When we reshaped the role, we knew Sheffield were the company to go with to lift the status of the role and get the results that we required. Andrea was excellent working with both us as the client and the candidates and the professionalism and mechanics of Sheffield gave us an excellent result

Andy Doherty, Chief Executive, Nova Trust

The biggest value-add we experienced from Louise was the thoroughness, quality and depth of the candidate reports – they are detailed and insightful and are always in the context of understanding the role and the organisation. I highly recommend Sheffield, especially for the managerial and technically specialist roles, which is where they add real value.

Gary Andrews, Manager People and Capability, Invercargill City Council

After going to market we chose Sheffield to lead the appointment process for our Chief Executive Officer as we felt comfortable with Louise. The whole process was seamless with a strong pool of candidates and great communication from the team at Sheffield.

Nigel Bowen, Mayor, Timaru District Council

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 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
