Client Testimonials

Sheffield’s support was invaluable in helping us replace our CEO who retired after 15 years. If you are looking for executive level appointments I highly recommend Sheffield and Katy in particular.

John Gommans, Acting Chief Medical and Dental Officer, Hawkes Bay DHB

Katy and Nick identified and brought forward a very good selection of candidates, with a good mix of capabilities and strengths. This provided a lot of choice for us in the recruitment process. We found that Sheffield provided timely and sound advice throughout the process. I would definitely use Sheffield again.

Mike Hargreaves, DCE - Strategy and Insights, Worksafe NZ

YNZ requested proposals from 3 consultancies. Above all, Sheffield stood out as the consultancy with the right experience and a strong market reputation to match. Sheffield invested the time necessary to learn about YNZ, our culture and our requirements. Ian Taylor, from Sheffield, is widely respected and undertook to be fully immersed in leading our project (which he delivered on). My recommendation would be, get Ian Taylor on the team!

Greg Knowles, Chair, Yachting NZ

Person Recruited: Steve Armitage, Chief Executive Officer

Sheffield has a strong understanding of complex sectors and are incredibly well-connected in local and offshore markets. Ian Taylor and his team are thoughtful and thorough. They have always conducted a professional and confidential process, securing highly experienced candidates for our consideration and appointment. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian and the team at Sheffield.

Julia Raue, Chair, Move Logistics

I would recommend partnering with Sheffield. They make the end-to-end process so easy and make sure the candidates are updated on progress all the time. At this challenging time of getting great talent, Sheffield makes sure the processes are quick and easy - both for me as the hiring manager and the candidates.

Anton Youngman, General Manager Sector Insights, Ministry of Justice
