Executive Search, Assessment, Board & Leadership Advisory Services | New Zealand

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.

Sheffield Search came through the EOI process and now that our new CEO is in place I am confident we chose the right Team to work with us.

"Mike Stenhouse was great to work with during the short-listing process. His service was timely, he added a valuable perspective to the interview panel, and liaised effectively with long and short-listed candidates"

David Stevens, General Manager People, Culture & Communication, PowerNet

The benefits of Sheffield went beyond the professional services and frameworks for our appointment process, it also included access to their contacts and networks to ensure we gained the best applicant pool from which to find our best candidate. It is important to work with recruiters who really know your specific sector, and how to match up people with the right organisation.

After going to market we chose Sheffield to lead the appointment process for our Chief Executive Officer as we felt comfortable with Louise. The whole process was seamless with a strong pool of candidates and great communication from the team at Sheffield.
