Client Testimonials

Having engaged Sheffield, on the basis of their previous performance, to assist Nova Trust with the recruitment and appointment of 2 new Trustees I can advise that we have been pleased with the professionalism of their service throughout the process which resulted in a successful outcome.

John Cumberpatch, Chair, Nova Trust

Andrea gave a very positive presentation and had been involved in several similar appointments. Based on this, we decided to partner with Sheffield for the appointment of the new Principal/Headmaster. I would strongly support another school deciding to use Sheffield for a similar appointment.

Tony Deavoll, Chair, Shirley Boys' High School

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.

Kate Graeme, President, Forest & Bird,

Person Recruited: Sam Rowland, Chief Executive

In a Covid-19 year the job market has been tough for candidates and recruitment companies alike, however my interaction with Louise, as a candidate, was a standout amongst the crowd. I found Louise pro-active and responsive to my enquiry, and Louise is backed by a very organised and professional team who enabled our interaction to be seamless and successful.

Thank you for the very thorough and professional process that you followed with selection of an EA for College House. Your understanding of our business needs, attention to detail and timely, accurate communication was superb. We are delighted with the outcome.

Richard Taylor, College House. Principal
