Client Testimonials

Katy and Nick identified and brought forward a very good selection of candidates, with a good mix of capabilities and strengths. This provided a lot of choice for us in the recruitment process. We found that Sheffield provided timely and sound advice throughout the process. I would definitely use Sheffield again.

Mike Hargreaves, DCE - Strategy and Insights, Worksafe NZ

Andrea took time to ensure she really understood what we were looking for, so that the candidates presented to us met our criteria. The advice from Sheffield was invaluable and we would certainly use them again for any key appointments.

Pam Brian, General Manager, White Fox and Jones

Andrea and Sheffield were really impressive to work with. Always organised, thinking ahead and understood our needs. Resulted in a great appointment within our very tight timeframes.

Frazer Munro, General Manager, Timaru District Holdings Limited

For someone who has always taken the DIY approach to recruitment, letting go of such an important process wasn’t easy....I would definitely engage them again, and I am! No more DIY for me!!

Simon Challies, Executive Director, BrainTree Trust

‘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.
