Executive Search, Assessment, Board & Leadership Advisory Services | New Zealand

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit our new Executive Principal because they are second to none at recruitment in the independent school sector. Ian Taylor is the doyen of recruiters in this sector. His experience in the industry and his knowledge of the market and Christ’s College was invaluable during the process. Sheffield’s astute and thoughtful analysis of the candidates was extremely beneficial as the process reached the business end of short list selection and we appreciated the team approach Sheffield adopted. We are extremely grateful to Sheffield in guiding us to such a good outcome for our School.

Hugh Lindo, Board Chair, Christ's College

Katy and Nick identified and brought forward a very good selection of candidates, with a good mix of capabilities and strengths. This provided a lot of choice for us in the recruitment process. We found that Sheffield provided timely and sound advice throughout the process. I would definitely use Sheffield again.

Mike Hargreaves, DCE - Strategy and Insights, Worksafe NZ

We liked having a team appointed to look after us. Having two recruitment processes, the follow-on and consistency was important. Jane and Gina were a great team, keeping us updated and in touch with how the process was progressing. Jane was a very good interviewer and the calibre of the Search candidates with the second process was outstanding.
