Client Testimonials

Sheffield is a pleasure to deal with, highly professional and the best in the business.

Tony Whale, General Manager, Central Heating NZ

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.

Nigel Bowen, Mayor, Timaru District Council

We have always been happy with our past experiences with Sheffield, I have always trusted them and the process was done really well. I would and have already, recommend Sheffield to others and would use them again if I needed to.

Bryan Cadogan, Mayor, Clutha District Council

‘I would highly recommend Sheffield as an executive recruitment agency. I have engaged with Sheffield and in particular Nicholas Buck as both a candidate and client. I have always been impressed with the high degree of professionalism, diligence and attention to detail.

Tom Williams, Chief Infrastructure Officer, Wellington City Council

From the outset, Sheffield invested the time to truly understand our organisation, our context, our culture, and what success looked like for this role. What really stood out was the team’s professionalism and depth of market insight. The quality of candidate information, combined with thoughtful analysis and guidance, enabled us to move forward with clarity and confidence. The result speaks for itself.
