Client Testimonials

We have previously partnered with Sheffield and been impressed with their service and professionalism. I appreciate Louise’s honesty when working with her and the capability of the Search team works very well. Sheffield is well connected across a variety of industries, and I knew with this being a specialised role, Sheffield would have their fingers on the pulse. This role had tight timeframes that we highlighted from the outset and Sheffield were able to deliver on this.

Francesca Eathorne, CEO, Antarctic Heritage Trust

We have recently partnered with Sheffield South Island to undertake a placement for our senior Health and Safety leader. Sheffield worked closely with us to source a number of quality candidates and we made a successful appointment to our business. I would like to thank Mike, Louise and Georgie for their professional approach and support to achieve a successful outcome.

Craig Coburn, GM People and Capability, ANZCO

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit our new Executive Principal because they are second to none at recruitment in the independent school sector. Ian Taylor is the doyen of recruiters in this sector. His experience in the industry and his knowledge of the market and Christ’s College was invaluable during the process. Sheffield’s astute and thoughtful analysis of the candidates was extremely beneficial as the process reached the business end of short list selection and we appreciated the team approach Sheffield adopted. We are extremely grateful to Sheffield in guiding us to such a good outcome for our School.

Hugh Lindo, Board Chair, Christ's College

We chose to partner with Sheffield on the appointment of a Communications Manager based on the fact that Sheffield have established an excellent relationship with the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, and really “get” our organisation. As a faith based not-for-profit organisation our requirements don’t always fit the typical recruitment profile, but Andrea really understands our business, our people and how we operate, which is of key importance when finding good candidates.

Simon Thompson, General Manager, Catholic Diocese of Christchurch

As TradeZones Independent Director, I steered the Board towards appointing Sheffield based on other and recent excellent experiences with Ian Taylor and his team. Sheffield’s progress with the task to find a new General Manager was excellent. All round, I think the Board of TradeZone and I are well pleased with the approach, the cadence of the task, and the outcome, so have no hesitation in recommending Sheffield Search.

Mark Gilbert, Independent Director, TradeZone
