Client Testimonials

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.

Ritchie Legge, GM Human Resources, PGG Wrightson Seeds/DLF

Sheffield is a trusted partner for recruitment. Sheffield provides tailored executive recruitment services, including extensive candidate research and utilising networks across New Zealand. Sheffield invest time to understand the needs of the organisation and the requirements of the role to ensure a successful appointment. The advice and guidance provided throughout the recruitment process was outstanding, coupled with exceptional candidate care. The transparent process and effective communication were ten out of ten. Thanks again for your amazing mahi.

Katie Church, Director People and Capability, Queenstown Lakes District Council

I would have to say that Sheffield is the most professional well run recruitment agent that I have ever encountered. From a candidate perspective, the prompt communication all throughout the process was fantastic and the thing that stands out the most for me. There is nothing worse as a candidate than waiting around wondering when you might hear about each step in the process. It was the same when I dealt with Mike on a position a few years ago. Absolute gold standard!

Joanne Soderlund, Candidate, Grey District Council

The added value to the process was high-level, trustworthy and had integrity - Sheffield gave us the tools to make our decision with confidence. I always felt supported by Sheffield and always knew Mike was at the end of the phone to ask any questions if I needed to.

Marie Black, Mayor, Hurunui District Council

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
