Client Testimonials

From an applicant’s perspective, Andrea was very good at explaining the process and what was expected of me at each stage. Andrea’s feedback was also very beneficial and made me feel very comfortable, with no additional stress on the day or leading up to interviews.

Tim Grocott, Principal, Shirley Boys High School

Ian and the team clearly had extensive networks in the education sector which meant we were presented with candidates of exceptional quality and appropriate characteristics. They understood our requirements and led us through a recruitment exercise which was comprehensive, holistic and timely.

Sharon Wards, Chair, Lindisfarne College Council

The particular points of difference in working with Sheffield were their ability to quickly and accurately identify our needs, their general responsiveness and excellent in-house team who could provide specific insight and skills. Their sensitivity at a difficult time for the school, and addressing this head-on in terms of branding and appropriate messaging in all outward-facing material and response to candidate queries was outstanding. I would recommend Sheffield without question in supporting schools in the recruitment of senior roles.

Johanna Clark, Human Resources Manager, Dilworth Trust Board

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’.

Joanna Cranness, People, Safety and Wellbeing Manager, Tasman District Council

We used Sheffield for the recruitment of our Business Systems Manager and I really enjoyed working with Andrea. The interviews were run smoothly and she really got us thinking about the questions we were asking to get the right candidate. The process was smooth and well run, we’re really happy with the result.

Stephen Vidulich, Head of Technology, Enviro NZ
