Client Testimonials

Our gratitude again to you both for all your mahi in getting us to this stage, we are thrilled with our appointment. Thank you for guiding us through these past few months, and making what is often an anxious albeit hopeful process smooth and assured.

Nalini Meyer, Chair, Te Poari Kaimatai Hinengaro o Aotearoa, NZ Psychologists Board

Tania's industry knowledge and candidate care were exceptional. The process was handled with discretion and professionalism throughout.

Tom Lynch, Project Director, Rubix

We have previously partnered with Sheffield and been impressed with their service and professionalism. I appreciate Louise’s honesty when working with her and the capability of the Search team works very well. Sheffield is well connected across a variety of industries, and I knew with this being a specialised role, Sheffield would have their fingers on the pulse. This role had tight timeframes that we highlighted from the outset and Sheffield were able to deliver on this.

Francesca Eathorne, CEO, Antarctic Heritage Trust

Sheffield has a strong reputation, they understood our needs and were the best fit for us. We valued the wide network Sheffield has which provided us with an outcome we were very happy with. The communication from Andrea was excellent and we felt we were well informed throughout the process. I would absolutely use Sheffield again and recommend them to others.

Michael Tayler, Board Chair, Waihi School

In our last engagement Sheffield brought us a selection of outstanding candidates and the biggest challenge was selecting from such an incredible group of high quality people, but they provided additional tools and advice to assist with the final selection.

Peter Bell, GM People and Culture, NZ Law Society
