Client Testimonials

Sheffield worked with us to understand what we wanted to achieve, the type of person we wanted to find, then did a great job researching the market and helping us secure the person we wanted to work with.

Peter Sewell, Director, Rubix

The Sheffield team offered insights which challenged some of our views yet provided us with rational and clear options for consideration. We were delighted with the final outcome and are very grateful to Ian and the team for their work.

Sharon Wards, Chair, Lindisfarne College Council

From an applicant’s perspective, Andrea was very good at explaining the process and what was expected of me at each stage. Andrea’s feedback was also very beneficial and made me feel very comfortable, with no additional stress on the day or leading up to interviews.

Tim Grocott, Principal, Shirley Boys High School

Sheffield delivered in every aspect of the process, showed the utmost professionalism, were a pleasure to work with and most importantly we were able to appoint a Chief Executive that we knew came from a crop second to none and fitted our job description to a tee.

Greg Lang, Mayor, Carterton District Council

I cannot recommend the Sheffield team highly enough. What impressed me most was their thoroughness at every stage of the process. They invested significant time upfront to understand not just the requirements, but the nuances of our business, our growth objectives, and the leadership qualities that would drive success in this position. Their focus on achieving the best outcome for Southern Cross Healthcare was evident throughout. They were relentless in their commitment, proactively sourcing exceptional candidates, providing thoughtful insights, and maintaining momentum even when the search became challenging. It wasn’t just about filling a position; they were genuinely invested in finding the right fit.

David Simpson, Chief of Strategy & Partnerships, Southern Cross Healthcare Group
