Client Testimonials

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit for a crucial Country Manager role, and we were highly impressed by their professionalism and expertise. Throughout the process, they presented several high quality candidates, offering solid guidance that helped us navigate each step, from selection to appointment. Sheffield’s knowledge of the market and commitment to understanding our needs made them an invaluable partner.

Zoran Talevski, General Manager, AHI Carrier

The added value to the process was high-level, trustworthy and had integrity - Sheffield gave us the tools to make our decision with confidence. I always felt supported by Sheffield and always knew Mike was at the end of the phone to ask any questions if I needed to.

Marie Black, Mayor, Hurunui District 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

I have a long relationship with Sheffield and with Louise and Mike, which means Sheffield knows me, and our business, well. Trust them, they know the market, and they know what they’re doing

Katrina Benedetti, GM People and Culture, Ravensdown

Ian and the team clearly had extensive networks in the education sector which meant we were presented with candidates of exceptional quality and appropriate characteristics. They understood our requirements and led us through a recruitment exercise which was comprehensive, holistic and timely.

Sharon Wards, Chair, Lindisfarne College Council
