Client Testimonials

Katy understood our concepts of leadership and I remember noting that that was one of the key differences between Sheffield and the other companies. Katy was most professional throughout the recruitment process and if I was recruiting again Katy would be our first and only call.

Simon Taylor, Director, Armstrong Downes Commercial

Sheffield continues to be the benchmark in executive recruitment...they have done an outstanding job in finding the right candidates and making the recruitment process streamlined, efficient and very easy for me.

Tony Whale, General Manager, Central Heating NZ

After going to market we selected Sheffield from previous experience and with the scale of this role, Louise’s market knowledge helped us make the decision. Managing different timezones, the festive season and that the interview team were based in Denmark elongated the process, however this was well managed by Louise. Regular updates from Louise and her understanding of what they were looking for impacted the great quality of candidates brought to the table. It was a seamless process with an excellent result.

Ritchie Legge, GM Human Resources, PGG Wrightson Seeds/DLF

We partnered with Sheffield due to their extensive experience in recruiting senior positions within the local government sector. I would have no hesitation recommending Sheffield. They were very professional, provided great communication and the whole process was seamless.

Mayor Kirsten Wise, Napier City Council

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
