Client Testimonials

We partnered with Sheffield for this important role as we have had previous great experience with Ian Taylor and the team. Sheffield always provide us with great communication and regular updates. To others considering partnering with Sheffield, you will find they provide consistently good service and are very confidential/professional.

Jan Pederen, Head of People, Performance and Culture

Person Recruited: Craig Rice, Chief Opearting and Finance Officer

Sheffield has a strong reputation, they understood our needs and were the best fit for us. We valued the wide network Sheffield has which provided us with an outcome we were very happy with. The communication from Andrea was excellent and we felt we were well informed throughout the process. I would absolutely use Sheffield again and recommend them to others.

Michael Tayler, Board Chair, Waihi School

Having started the new role, I could not be happier with cultural and organisational fit, and I have no hesitation in recommending Sheffield for Executive Search and placement.

"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

Andrea is very knowledgeable around education recruitment. I would highly recommend Sheffield, the process took huge amounts of stress off the Board of Trustees.
