Client Testimonials

‘I would highly recommend Sheffield as an executive recruitment agency. I have engaged with Sheffield and in particular Nicholas Buck as both a candidate and client. I have always been impressed with the high degree of professionalism, diligence and attention to detail.

Tom Williams, Chief Infrastructure Officer, Wellington City Council

As we have expressed previously in correspondence and phone discussions, we enjoyed the whole process with Sheffield, it appeared very seamless.

Chris Green, Managing Director, Midlands Holdings Limited

"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

We chose to partner with Sheffield on the appointment of a Communications Manager based on the fact that Sheffield have established an excellent relationship with the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, and really “get” our organisation. As a faith based not-for-profit organisation our requirements don’t always fit the typical recruitment profile, but Andrea really understands our business, our people and how we operate, which is of key importance when finding good candidates.

Simon Thompson, General Manager, Catholic Diocese of Christchurch

We chose to partner with Sheffield on the appointment of our new Principal as they are a well-established consultancy with a great reputation and deep knowledge and experience within the education sector. We would wholeheartedly endorse Sheffield as our preferred agency and could not fault them during this process.

Simon Green, Chair, Rangiora High School
