Client Testimonials

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.

Jo Yusaf, Manager, People, Brand and Administration, Corcoran French

Person Recruited: Stephen McCormick, Manager Finance and Business Services

We liked having a team appointed to look after us. Having two recruitment processes, the follow-on and consistency was important. Jane and Gina were a great team, keeping us updated and in touch with how the process was progressing. Jane was a very good interviewer and the calibre of the Search candidates with the second process was outstanding.

Karen Price, Chair, Aotea Electric Auckland

The correspondence, interview experience and application process from start to finish was absolutely brilliant. The care and way you all went about handling the process with sensitivity and as real people (not the usual impersonal forms and automated responses) made it all the more reassuring. I particularly appreciated your transparency in correspondence and in your candidate briefing pack about the stages of the process, with clear expectations from the outset. Thank you. Not just because of the outcome, this has been the most professionally managed recruitment process I've ever experienced. Please also pass on my thanks again to Andrea, I enjoyed our conversations - her warmth and energy was a joy!

Candidate

On behalf of the Knox Trust Board, I wanted to convey our appreciation for your invaluable assistance with the recent recruitment process that led to Fionnagh’s appointment as our new CEO. From the very start, we were all incredibly impressed with Sheffield’s alignment with our core values, your willingness to listen to our requirements (and to challenge them when necessary), and the way in which you and your team went above and beyond in your efforts to ensure that the very best people were identified, shortlisted and interviewed. We are thrilled with Fionnagh’s appointment and thank you again to Sheffield for its crucial contribution to that outcome.

Bal Matheson, Chair, Knox Home Trust

I just wanted to thank you for all your help in the process. Obviously you need to be objective and fair for every applicant, but you do so in such a professional manner whilst being hugely supportive and lovely to talk/correspond with. So... thank you. I genuinely feel you have helped me land what really is, a dream job for me.
