Client Testimonials

YNZ requested proposals from 3 consultancies. Above all, Sheffield stood out as the consultancy with the right experience and a strong market reputation to match. Sheffield invested the time necessary to learn about YNZ, our culture and our requirements. Ian Taylor, from Sheffield, is widely respected and undertook to be fully immersed in leading our project (which he delivered on). My recommendation would be, get Ian Taylor on the team!

Greg Knowles, Chair, Yachting NZ

Person Recruited: Steve Armitage, Chief Executive Officer

We valued the experience of the team which enabled them to offer sound perspectives and a comprehensive understanding of the market in NZ and overseas. Their timeline management and regular updates were also excellent. We would highly recommend Sheffield for their professionalism, team approach and ability to meet the needs of our organisation during the recruitment process.

Kelly Smith, St Kentigern Trust Board, Board Member

"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 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

I have a long relationship with Sheffield and with Louise and Mike, which means Sheffield knows me, and our business, well. Trust them, they know the market, and they know what they’re doing

Katrina Benedetti, GM People and Culture, Ravensdown
