Client Testimonials

Andrea gave a very positive presentation and had been involved in several similar appointments. Based on this, we decided to partner with Sheffield for the appointment of the new Principal/Headmaster. I would strongly support another school deciding to use Sheffield for a similar appointment.

Tony Deavoll, Chair, Shirley Boys' High School

Louise was very responsive and read the nuances of the role extremely well, providing a timely, quality service. We couldn’t fault the process and would highly recommend Sheffield to other organisations.

Lesley Fleming, Acting GM People and Safety, Lyttelton Port Company

Sheffield Search came through the EOI process and now that our new CEO is in place I am confident we chose the right Team to work with us.

Garry Webber, Mayor, Western Bay of Plenty District Council

Sheffield is a pleasure to deal with, highly professional and the best in the business.

Tony Whale, General Manager, Central Heating NZ

Nuku Ora chose to partner with Sheffield because their recruitment proposal really encapsulated our need, and they were able to articulate that they understood where we were at on our organisational journey....We are delighted with our successful candidate.

Dianna Taylor, Chair, Nuku Ora
