Client Testimonials

Sheffield proved to be a great choice for our CEO recruitment. Council felt well supported in attracting high calibre applicants and progressing our preferred candidate through to completing the formal appointment. I felt Louise really understood our person requirements and the unique challenges of recruitment into a small rural council. I think this attention to detail coupled with great recruitment research and insight really built my confidence in the process.

Jamie Cleine, Mayor, Buller District Council

Mike and the team at Sheffield provided a fantastic service. There was a really robust process that resulted in some great applicants for us to consider....and are very happy with the outcome.

Will Doughty, Chief Executive Officer, Kaikoura District Council

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 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

Our gratitude again to you both for all your mahi in getting us to this stage, we are thrilled with our appointment. Thank you for guiding us through these past few months, and making what is often an anxious albeit hopeful process smooth and assured.

Nalini Meyer, Chair, Te Poari Kaimatai Hinengaro o Aotearoa, NZ Psychologists Board
