Client Testimonials

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

Person Recruited: Stephen McCormick, Manager Finance and Business Services

I just wanted to thank you for all your help in the process. Obviously you need to be objective and fair for every applicant, but you do so in such a professional manner whilst being hugely supportive and lovely to talk/correspond with. So... thank you. I genuinely feel you have helped me land what really is, a dream job for me.

"Mike Stenhouse of Sheffield devoted considerable time and energy in discussion and enquiry, understanding the business and its growth and importantly interpreting the “glue” which has essentially kept the board and management close during the good times and bad. I have come out of this process confident of the appointment process and choice made, and grateful for the energy and guidance of Sheffield."

Craig Boyce, Chair, TransDiesel

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit for a crucial Country Manager role, and we were highly impressed by their professionalism and expertise. Throughout the process, they presented several high quality candidates, offering solid guidance that helped us navigate each step, from selection to appointment. Sheffield’s knowledge of the market and commitment to understanding our needs made them an invaluable partner.

Zoran Talevski, General Manager, AHI Carrier

‘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
