Client testimonials

YNZ requested proposals from 3 consultancies. Above all, Sheffield stood out as the consultancy with the right experience and a strong market reputation to match. Sheffield invested the time necessary to learn about YNZ, our culture and our requirements. Ian Taylor, from Sheffield, is widely respected and undertook to be fully immersed in leading our project (which he delivered on). My recommendation would be, get Ian Taylor on the team!

Greg Knowles, Chair, Yachting NZ

We have used Sheffield previously and they have done a wonderful job for us. Kate quickly grasped what we were looking for and gave us confidence she understood our business and needs. Kate gave sound, practical advice around the placement and timing for advertising, as well as excellent support and updates throughout the process. We were really happy with the outcome and Sheffield South Island did a fantastic job.

Jo Yusaf, Manager, People, Brand and Administration, Corcoran French

I knew of Sheffield’s reputation in the Education sector and had heard great things. Everything worked well throughout this assignment and the communications were top notch. The reach you were able to achieve to candidates was exceptional and we never would have been able to get to those candidates, this was a huge advantage.

Cathy Ewing, Chair, Outdoor Education of New Zealand

We partnered with Sheffield based on the quality of their presentation and advice provided within their proposal. We were impressed with the regular communication from Nicholas Buck and the guidance received throughout the process. We enjoyed working with an efficient and friendly team who were highly professional and communicated well throughout.

Dr Susan Calvert, Chief Executive Officer, Medical Sciences Secretariat

After going to market we selected Sheffield from previous experience and with the scale of this role, Louise’s market knowledge helped us make the decision. Managing different timezones, the festive season and that the interview team were based in Denmark elongated the process, however this was well managed by Louise. Regular updates from Louise and her understanding of what they were looking for impacted the great quality of candidates brought to the table. It was a seamless process with an excellent result.

Psychometric Testing in the Age of AI: Why Integrity Still Holds
As AI technology advances, we thought it timely to understand how (and if) it affects psychometric tests used in supporting recruitment decisions.
