Client Testimonials

We chose Sheffield for their expertise, strong support structures, and clear communication—qualities that were evident throughout the entire process. Ian Taylor and his team demonstrated a clear understanding of integrated schools and their special character focus, managing the candidates with confidence and professionalism.

Gill Chappell, Chairperson, Baradene College of the Sacred Heart

I was impressed with the quality of the candidates provided and how well Sheffield understood the brief of what we were after. The candidates were well briefed prior to our interviews, and I had a number of comments from them on the candidate care they received. Sheffield far exceeded our expectations and anyone choosing to partner with them would not be disappointed.

Cathy Hendry, Manaing Director, Strategic Pay

I knew of Sheffield’s reputation in the Education sector and had heard great things. Everything worked well throughout this assignment and the communications were top notch. The reach you were able to achieve to candidates was exceptional and we never would have been able to get to those candidates, this was a huge advantage.

Cathy Ewing, Chair, Outdoor Education of New Zealand

Person Recruited: Rachel Honeycombe, International Student Recruitment and Marketing Manager

Sheffield delivered in every aspect of the process, showed the utmost professionalism, were a pleasure to work with and most importantly we were able to appoint a Chief Executive that we knew came from a crop second to none and fitted our job description to a tee.

Greg Lang, Mayor, Carterton District Council

After going to market we selected Sheffield from previous experience and with the scale of this role, Louise’s market knowledge helped us make the decision. Managing different timezones, the festive season and that the interview team were based in Denmark elongated the process, however this was well managed by Louise. Regular updates from Louise and her understanding of what they were looking for impacted the great quality of candidates brought to the table. It was a seamless process with an excellent result.
