Client Testimonials

Ian Taylor led the team responsible for our board appointments. Ian is an outstanding leader and his fingerprints are embedded in our successful search. What stood out for me was Sheffield’s ability to gain a close understanding of our business, quickly translate that into rigorous and targeted research and search activity whilst communicating seamlessly and constructively throughout the entire process.

Mark Newman, former Board Member, MOVe Logistics

Sheffield is a trusted partner for recruitment. Sheffield provides tailored executive recruitment services, including extensive candidate research and utilising networks across New Zealand. Sheffield invest time to understand the needs of the organisation and the requirements of the role to ensure a successful appointment. The advice and guidance provided throughout the recruitment process was outstanding, coupled with exceptional candidate care. The transparent process and effective communication were ten out of ten. Thanks again for your amazing mahi.

Katie Church, Director People and Capability, Queenstown Lakes District Council

Ian Taylor and the Sheffield Search team stood out in the selection process as having the experience, knowledge of the market, capability and fit that we were looking for. I am very comfortable in recommending Sheffield Search as an Executive Search partner for any educational body recruiting for leadership positions.

Phil Newman, Chair, Orewa College

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

"WESCT (Waitomo Energy Services Customer Trust) have used Sheffield for our last two director recruitment processes. Mike and Gina made the process to appoint a new Director significantly easier and in both cases we have had excellent candidates to meet and select from."

Peter Keeling, ex- Chair, Waitomo Energy Services Customer Trust
