Client Testimonials

We were really, really happy with the outcome of the recruitment process and would have no hesitation in recommending Sheffield to anyone. Embrace their expertise and knowledge - don’t try and do it yourself.

Stu Myles, Chair, Nova Trust

Our gratitude again to you both for all your mahi in getting us to this stage, we are thrilled with our appointment. Thank you for guiding us through these past few months, and making what is often an anxious albeit hopeful process smooth and assured.

Nalini Meyer, Chair, Te Poari Kaimatai Hinengaro o Aotearoa, NZ Psychologists Board

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit our new Executive Principal because they are second to none at recruitment in the independent school sector. Ian Taylor is the doyen of recruiters in this sector. His experience in the industry and his knowledge of the market and Christ’s College was invaluable during the process. Sheffield’s astute and thoughtful analysis of the candidates was extremely beneficial as the process reached the business end of short list selection and we appreciated the team approach Sheffield adopted. We are extremely grateful to Sheffield in guiding us to such a good outcome for our School.

Hugh Lindo, Board Chair, Christ's College

Sheffield have become our agency of choice when recruiting for senior leadership roles. Katy, Nick and the team invest upfront in understanding our brief and importantly they have developed an indepth understanding of our business.

David Lanham, Chief Executive, Palmerston North Airport Limited

Nuku Ora chose to partner with Sheffield because their recruitment proposal really encapsulated our need, and they were able to articulate that they understood where we were at on our organisational journey....We are delighted with our successful candidate.

Dianna Taylor, Chair, Nuku Ora
