Client Testimonials

Mike and the team at Sheffield provided a fantastic service. There was a really robust process that resulted in some great applicants for us to consider....and are very happy with the outcome.

Will Doughty, Chief Executive Officer, Kaikoura District Council

The biggest value-add we experienced from Louise was the thoroughness, quality and depth of the candidate reports – they are detailed and insightful and are always in the context of understanding the role and the organisation. I highly recommend Sheffield, especially for the managerial and technically specialist roles, which is where they add real value.

Gary Andrews, Manager People and Capability, Invercargill City Council

After a rethink on the position and Louise helping us become clear on what we really wanted to achieve, we underwent a Search process which resulted in 7 candidates. The work done in the Search space gave us an excellent choice, they were all great candidates, we ended up spoilt for choice.

Richard Wilson, Group CEO, Landpower

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

Sheffield has a reputation for a high quality approach to executive search, not only in terms of their well organised plan, but the genuine effort and follow through in implementing that plan and keeping their client well informed. Taituara wanted to take a specific and careful approach to the recruitment of our new CEO and Sheffield’s approach was well suited to this. The extra bonus is that Sheffield Director Wellington Katy Antequil and her colleague Nicholas Buck are a joy to work with.

Barbara McKerrow, Wellington Representative, Taituara
