Client Testimonials

I cannot speak highly enough of the expertise and professionalism of Mike Stenhouse and the team at Sheffield when assisting the Club in this appointment...It was a pleasure working with, and being assisted by, the Sheffield team.

Sarah Pearson, Committe Member, Arrowtown Golf Club

They are professional and provide good insight into candidates - I don’t feel as if I was being “sold” a candidate which is good in my books.? There was value having an intermediary when negotiating salary, and a lot of the value is created by trusting the consultant… I would certainly use Sheffield again.

Marcus Waters, GM Commercial and Partnerships, Antartcic Heritage Trust,

Sheffield has a strong understanding of complex sectors and are incredibly well-connected in local and offshore markets. Ian Taylor and his team are thoughtful and thorough. They have always conducted a professional and confidential process, securing highly experienced candidates for our consideration and appointment. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian and the team at Sheffield.

Julia Raue, Chair, Move Logistics

Sheffield is known as one of New Zealand’s top level recruitment businesses and so it was a pleasure engaging with them and together creating the pathway to appoint a new CEO for a new organisation. Value was added every step of the way, from drafting documents to Sheffield’s expertise in assessing candidates in relation to the position and level of maturity of the organisation. In many ways Sheffield shared our vision. As a high-trust, high-calibre business partner I would certainly recommend Sheffield. Katy, Patrick and Shona and the organisation that sits behind them are a great team.

Alastair Bell, Chair, MIT and Unitec Council

Person Recruited: Christina Hong, Chief Executive

We chose Sheffield for the recruitment of this role as we had used them previously. The attraction of candidates Sheffield were able to provide was a big benefit for us. Andrea had a very good understanding of the role and the team were very organised with their communications, with the interview process run very well. It was an enjoyable experience, and we have a great outcome.

Tony Ryall, Chief Executive, Beststart Educare
