Client Testimonials

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

Sheffield worked with us to understand what we wanted to achieve, the type of person we wanted to find, then did a great job researching the market and helping us secure the person we wanted to work with.

Peter Sewell, Director, Rubix

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

For someone who has always taken the DIY approach to recruitment, letting go of such an important process wasn’t easy....I would definitely engage them again, and I am! No more DIY for me!!

Simon Challies, Executive Director, BrainTree Trust

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
