Client Testimonials

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

The benefits of Sheffield went beyond the professional services and frameworks for our appointment process, it also included access to their contacts and networks to ensure we gained the best applicant pool from which to find our best candidate. It is important to work with recruiters who really know your specific sector, and how to match up people with the right organisation.

Mark Wilson, Executive Principal, Kristin School

Sheffield is known as one of New Zealand’s top level recruitment businesses and so it was a pleasure engaging with them and together creating the pathway to appoint a new CEO for a new organisation. Value was added every step of the way, from drafting documents to Sheffield’s expertise in assessing candidates in relation to the position and level of maturity of the organisation. In many ways Sheffield shared our vision. As a high-trust, high-calibre business partner I would certainly recommend Sheffield. Katy, Patrick and Shona and the organisation that sits behind them are a great team.

Alastair Bell, Chair, MIT and Unitec Council

Person Recruited: Christina Hong, Chief Executive

We have used Sheffield previously and they have done a wonderful job for us. Kate quickly grasped what we were looking for and gave us confidence she understood our business and needs. Kate gave sound, practical advice around the placement and timing for advertising, as well as excellent support and updates throughout the process. We were really happy with the outcome and Sheffield South Island did a fantastic job.

Jo Yusaf, Manager, People, Brand and Administration, Corcoran French

Person Recruited: Stephen McCormick, Manager Finance and Business Services

It was great to work with Mike again on a critical role for the MTF business. With the required preparation, patience and robust process the resulting successful placement has been first class.

Mark Darrow, Chair, Motor Trade Finance
