Client Testimonials

Thank you for the very thorough and professional process that you followed with selection of an EA for College House. Your understanding of our business needs, attention to detail and timely, accurate communication was superb. We are delighted with the outcome.

Richard Taylor, College House. Principal

As TradeZones Independent Director, I steered the Board towards appointing Sheffield based on other and recent excellent experiences with Ian Taylor and his team. Sheffield’s progress with the task to find a new General Manager was excellent. All round, I think the Board of TradeZone and I are well pleased with the approach, the cadence of the task, and the outcome, so have no hesitation in recommending Sheffield Search.

Mark Gilbert, Independent Director, TradeZone

We chose to partner with Sheffield on the appointment of a Communications Manager based on the fact that Sheffield have established an excellent relationship with the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, and really “get” our organisation. As a faith based not-for-profit organisation our requirements don’t always fit the typical recruitment profile, but Andrea really understands our business, our people and how we operate, which is of key importance when finding good candidates.

Simon Thompson, General Manager, Catholic Diocese of Christchurch

Engaging with Sheffield and having Louise as our lead on the recruitment for our CE position was a great decision. Louise listened to our requirements, focus areas, our communities values/challenges and was extremely professional. Her knowledge and experience guided and advised us throughout this process to a fantastic outcome. I would highly recommend Louise and her team for the recruitment process. Their vast experience and knowledge in the local government sector helped us through this process to a positive outcome for our council.

Tania Gibson, Mayor, Grey District Council

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
