Client Testimonials

We chose to partner with Sheffield on the appointment of a Communications Manager based on the fact that Sheffield have established an excellent relationship with the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, and really “get” our organisation. As a faith based not-for-profit organisation our requirements don’t always fit the typical recruitment profile, but Andrea really understands our business, our people and how we operate, which is of key importance when finding good candidates.

Simon Thompson, General Manager, Catholic Diocese of Christchurch

Sheffield know the market well and run a robust process. Jane was very professional, took away the pain of recruitment and I was pleased with how the whole process was run.

Grant McKenzie, Chief Executive, Allied Press

We recently partnered with Sheffield to find a new Chief Executive for Central Lakes Trust. Sheffield's professional and rigorous process resulted in a high number of suitably qualified candidates and we were delighted with the calibre of the final appointment. Louise Green from Sheffield was a pleasure to work with - she made the process easy for us and was very responsive to our needs over the Christmas/ New Year period. I would highly recommend Sheffield.

Hetty Van Hale, Chair, Central Lakes Trust

The search process undertaken by your research group resulted in a strong candidate list for us to make decisions on finding the best fit within our team.

Craig Coburn, General Manager People and Capability, ANZCO

We have previously partnered with Sheffield and been impressed with their service and professionalism. I appreciate Louise’s honesty when working with her and the capability of the Search team works very well. Sheffield is well connected across a variety of industries, and I knew with this being a specialised role, Sheffield would have their fingers on the pulse. This role had tight timeframes that we highlighted from the outset and Sheffield were able to deliver on this.

Francesca Eathorne, CEO, Antarctic Heritage Trust
