Client Testimonials

"We could not have managed the process without Sheffield - their advertising and recruitment strategy exceeded expectations. If you are looking for executive level appointments I highly recommend Sheffield and Katy in particular."

John Gommans, Chair, Stroke Foundation NZ

It is always a pleasure dealing with a professional, knowledgeable, personable and efficient group of people that understand our business and recruitment needs and our “fit”.

Guy Gaddum, Chair, QRS

We have used Sheffield previously and they have done a wonderful job for us. Kate quickly grasped what we were looking for and gave us confidence she understood our business and needs. Kate gave sound, practical advice around the placement and timing for advertising, as well as excellent support and updates throughout the process. We were really happy with the outcome and Sheffield South Island did a fantastic job.

Jo Yusaf, Manager, People, Brand and Administration, Corcoran French

Person Recruited: Stephen McCormick, Manager Finance and Business Services

We had been looking for a best-in-class search firm in New Zealand to fill our President/Managing Director global role, with the right network and credentials and reached out to several. Sheffield and specifically Ian Taylor has been the most responsive and came across as caring and very personally invested.

Luba Domanova, Senior VP HR, Precisional LLC

Andrea gave a very positive presentation and had been involved in several similar appointments. Based on this, we decided to partner with Sheffield for the appointment of the new Principal/Headmaster. I would strongly support another school deciding to use Sheffield for a similar appointment.

Tony Deavoll, Chair, Shirley Boys' High School
