Client Testimonials

We have always been happy with our past experiences with Sheffield, I have always trusted them and the process was done really well. I would and have already, recommend Sheffield to others and would use them again if I needed to.

Bryan Cadogan, Mayor, Clutha District Council

The particular points of difference in working with Sheffield were their ability to quickly and accurately identify our needs, their general responsiveness and excellent in-house team who could provide specific insight and skills. Their sensitivity at a difficult time for the school, and addressing this head-on in terms of branding and appropriate messaging in all outward-facing material and response to candidate queries was outstanding. I would recommend Sheffield without question in supporting schools in the recruitment of senior roles.

Johanna Clark, Human Resources Manager, Dilworth Trust Board

Ian, Raewyn and Kelly did a tremendous job helping the Hockey New Zealand Board distill down the key skills we needed in our CEO, and ultimately assisted us with a comprehensive and efficient interview and selection process. We could not have asked for more.

Mike Bignell, Chair, NZ Hockey

Working with Sheffield from beginning to end has been a seamless process. Andrea and her team were flexible to work to our timeline whilst carrying out a thorough and professional recruitment process. Andrea’s knowledge and advice throughout from crafting the ad and Position Description through to candidate selection and facilitating the interview process was well thorough and relevant to our industry and the talent we were wishing to attract. We are thrilled with the appointment we have made and Sheffield’s experienced and considered approach to our recruitment.

Charlotte Connoley, Chair, NZ Grain and Seed Association

We chose Sheffield for the recruitment of this role as we had used them previously. The attraction of candidates Sheffield were able to provide was a big benefit for us. Andrea had a very good understanding of the role and the team were very organised with their communications, with the interview process run very well. It was an enjoyable experience, and we have a great outcome.

Tony Ryall, Chief Executive, Beststart Educare
