Client Testimonials

Having placed our previous GM, Sheffield was familiar with our organisation’s requirements. This resulted in a smooth process that was professionally and successfully managed. We were happy with the outcome, and successfully appointed our new General Manager.

David Barker, Chair, Rural Livestock

NZR has used Sheffield for previous Board appointments and based on the positive experience and outcome this led us to partnering with them again. We found Sheffield to be professional, prompt and agile – great to deal with.

Andrea Brunner, Chief People Safety and Wellbeing Officer, New Zealand Rugby

Sheffield proved to be a great choice for our CEO recruitment. Council felt well supported in attracting high calibre applicants and progressing our preferred candidate through to completing the formal appointment. I felt Louise really understood our person requirements and the unique challenges of recruitment into a small rural council. I think this attention to detail coupled with great recruitment research and insight really built my confidence in the process.

Jamie Cleine, Mayor, Buller District Council

Working with Sheffield from beginning to end has been a seamless process. Andrea and her team were flexible to work to our timeline whilst carrying out a thorough and professional recruitment process. Andrea’s knowledge and advice throughout from crafting the ad and Position Description through to candidate selection and facilitating the interview process was well thorough and relevant to our industry and the talent we were wishing to attract. We are thrilled with the appointment we have made and Sheffield’s experienced and considered approach to our recruitment.

Charlotte Connoley, Chair, NZ Grain and Seed Association

Sheffield worked with us to understand what we wanted to achieve, the type of person we wanted to find, then did a great job researching the market and helping us secure the person we wanted to work with.

Peter Sewell, Director, Rubix
