Client Testimonials

The added value to the process was high-level, trustworthy and had integrity - Sheffield gave us the tools to make our decision with confidence. I always felt supported by Sheffield and always knew Mike was at the end of the phone to ask any questions if I needed to.

Marie Black, Mayor, Hurunui District Council

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

Person Recruited: Claire Daly, Regional Manager

The New Zealand Brain Research Institute is grateful for your recent assistance in recruiting and placing directors for our Board. We were very pleased with the thorough and seamless process that you followed which resulted in two excellent directors joining us, in full alignment with our brief. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Richard Sudell, Chair, NZ Brain Research Institute

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 chose Sheffield for their expertise, strong support structures, and clear communication—qualities that were evident throughout the entire process. Ian Taylor and his team demonstrated a clear understanding of integrated schools and their special character focus, managing the candidates with confidence and professionalism.

Gill Chappell, Chairperson, Baradene College of the Sacred Heart
