Client Testimonials

I was very happy with the process you ran Mike. My interactions with both you and Gina were excellent – good, clear, prompt communications, and great people to deal with.

Anonymous Candidate

Andrea is very knowledgeable around education recruitment. I would highly recommend Sheffield, the process took huge amounts of stress off the Board of Trustees.

Rebecca Methven, Chair, St Bedes College

We are thrilled with the appointment of Tracy Evans-Tracy (or the successful candidate) who is exactly the ‘unicorn’ we were hoping to find. I have partnered with Sheffield and Louise many times for senior appointments and was reminded once more what fantastic, proactive customer service feels like in the recruitment space.

Lee Gardiner, Head of Growth and Performance, Connectics

The New Zealand Brain Research Institute is grateful for your recent assistance in recruiting and placing directors for our Board. We were very pleased with the thorough and seamless process that you followed which resulted in two excellent directors joining us, in full alignment with our brief. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Richard Sudell, Chair, NZ Brain Research Institute

Ian Taylor led the team responsible for our board appointments. Ian is an outstanding leader and his fingerprints are embedded in our successful search. What stood out for me was Sheffield’s ability to gain a close understanding of our business, quickly translate that into rigorous and targeted research and search activity whilst communicating seamlessly and constructively throughout the entire process.

Mark Newman, former Board Member, MOVe Logistics
