Executive Search, Assessment, Board & Leadership Advisory Services | New Zealand

Ian and the team clearly had extensive networks in the education sector which meant we were presented with candidates of exceptional quality and appropriate characteristics. They understood our requirements and led us through a recruitment exercise which was comprehensive, holistic and timely.

We have enjoyed our experience....everyone was very approachable, efficient with their work and time and always available. We would happily use Sheffield again".

Jan Early, Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation, Chair

We appreciated the professionalism with which Patrick and Katy approached the recruitment of our new CE from start to end. They had a very clear and iterative process which they developed with us and supported us through. They had experience in recruiting for for-purpose and member organisations, and understood our particular operating environment, organisational and leadership needs.

Person Recruited: Sam Rowland, Chief Executive

We liked having a team appointed to look after us. Having two recruitment processes, the follow-on and consistency was important. Jane and Gina were a great team, keeping us updated and in touch with how the process was progressing. Jane was a very good interviewer and the calibre of the Search candidates with the second process was outstanding.

Karen Price, Chair, Aotea Electric Auckland

On behalf of the Knox Trust Board, I wanted to convey our appreciation for your invaluable assistance with the recent recruitment process that led to Fionnagh’s appointment as our new CEO. From the very start, we were all incredibly impressed with Sheffield’s alignment with our core values, your willingness to listen to our requirements (and to challenge them when necessary), and the way in which you and your team went above and beyond in your efforts to ensure that the very best people were identified, shortlisted and interviewed. We are thrilled with Fionnagh’s appointment and thank you again to Sheffield for its crucial contribution to that outcome.

Bal Matheson, Chair, Knox Home Trust
