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

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

Having started the new role, I could not be happier with cultural and organisational fit, and I have no hesitation in recommending Sheffield for Executive Search and placement.

Jon Ager, Project Director, Antarctica New Zealand

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

Andrea dealt with all candidates in a very diplomatic and professional manner and was admired by the panel for her approach. The whole process was totally professional and there was nothing that could have been done better.

Colin Freeman, Chair, Rochester and Rutherford Hall
