Client Testimonials

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

We settled on Sheffield unanimously based on previous experience, knowledge of the principals of the business, and its professionalism....the process was thorough, professional and actually was made quite easy for us.

Mark GIlbert, Chair, PlantTech Research Insititute

"Mike Stenhouse was great to work with during the short-listing process. His service was timely, he added a valuable perspective to the interview panel, and liaised effectively with long and short-listed candidates"

David Stevens, General Manager People, Culture & Communication, PowerNet

We felt a position at this level required expertise and skills and Sheffield could deliver on this. The process was well structured and Sheffield saved us alot of time through running the process instead of us. For a potentially difficult to fill role, we were very happy with the outcome and Will is exceptional.

Kent Krammer, General Manager NZ, Novus Glass

Mike and Louise, and their team at Sheffield, made the process of finding the right applicant for our new tier two Chief Operating Officer role feel like a ‘walk in the park’.
