Client Testimonials

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

We have enjoyed our experience....everyone was very approachable, efficient with their work and time and always available. We would happily use Sheffield again".

Jan Early, Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation, Chair

We liked having a team appointed to look after us. Having two recruitment processes, the follow-on and consistency was important. Jane and Gina were a great team, keeping us updated and in touch with how the process was progressing. Jane was a very good interviewer and the calibre of the Search candidates with the second process was outstanding.

Karen Price, Chair, Aotea Electric Auckland

I wish to applaud Sheffield for their professional, considerate and thorough approach to recruitment. Sheffield's approach of personal contact, detailed candidate assessment and rigorous evaluation provided me with the assurance I was seeking. It was a pleasure to work with Louise Green and her team

Dave Ward, Group Manager - 3 Waters, Dunedin City Council

NZR has used Sheffield for previous Board appointments and based on the positive experience and outcome this led us to partnering with them again. We found Sheffield to be professional, prompt and agile – great to deal with.

Andrea Brunner, Chief People Safety and Wellbeing Officer, New Zealand Rugby
