Client Testimonials

Sheffield made the process for us recruiting this role so easy with their expert guidance and ability to find high calibre candidates. We found their professional processes particularly useful to navigate a strong candidate field and to really ensure we employed the right person for the role.

Francesca Eathorne, Chief Operations Office, Antarctic Heritage Trust

We thought that we would have a challenge trying to find a senior health and safety manager for our vacant national position, however, this was not the case. We had a good variety of appropriate candidates presented to us for us to make our decision. This happened only through the thorough work carried out by Sheffield and their dedicated team.

Hans Fuchs, Group GM Concrete, Allied Concrete

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

Tony Whale, General Manager, Central Heating NZ

Ian Taylor and the Sheffield Search team stood out in the selection process as having the experience, knowledge of the market, capability and fit that we were looking for. I am very comfortable in recommending Sheffield Search as an Executive Search partner for any educational body recruiting for leadership positions.

Phil Newman, Chair, Orewa College

"WESCT (Waitomo Energy Services Customer Trust) have used Sheffield for our last two director recruitment processes. Mike and Gina made the process to appoint a new Director significantly easier and in both cases we have had excellent candidates to meet and select from."

Peter Keeling, ex- Chair, Waitomo Energy Services Customer Trust
