Sheffield have become our agency of choice when recruiting for senior leadership roles. Katy, Nick and the team invest upfront in understanding our brief and importantly they have developed an indepth understanding of our business.

David Lanham, Chief Executive, Palmerston North Airport Limited

We partnered with Sheffield due to their extensive experience in recruiting senior positions within the local government sector. I would have no hesitation recommending Sheffield. They were very professional, provided great communication and the whole process was seamless.

Mayor Kirsten Wise, Napier City Council

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.

Sheffield is known as one of New Zealand’s top level recruitment businesses and so it was a pleasure engaging with them and together creating the pathway to appoint a new CEO for a new organisation. Value was added every step of the way, from drafting documents to Sheffield’s expertise in assessing candidates in relation to the position and level of maturity of the organisation. In many ways Sheffield shared our vision. As a high-trust, high-calibre business partner I would certainly recommend Sheffield. Katy, Patrick and Shona and the organisation that sits behind them are a great team.

Sheffield has a reputation for a high quality approach to executive search, not only in terms of their well organised plan, but the genuine effort and follow through in implementing that plan and keeping their client well informed. Taituara wanted to take a specific and careful approach to the recruitment of our new CEO and Sheffield’s approach was well suited to this. The extra bonus is that Sheffield Director Wellington Katy Antequil and her colleague Nicholas Buck are a joy to work with.
