Client Testimonials

The biggest value-add we experienced from Louise was the thoroughness, quality and depth of the candidate reports – they are detailed and insightful and are always in the context of understanding the role and the organisation. I highly recommend Sheffield, especially for the managerial and technically specialist roles, which is where they add real value.

Gary Andrews, Manager People and Capability, Invercargill City Council

I partnered with Sheffield on this appointment because I have had a longstanding relationship with Sheffield over the last 30 years and trust the professionalism and the quality of the outcomes. The discovery process and long listing set the scene for a successful search. We only got our chosen candidate because of search and the professional approach of Sheffield. This was important as the shortlisted candidates would not have responded to advertising.

John Beveridge, Independent Chair, NZ Scaffolding Limited

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

We partnered with Sheffield based on the quality of their presentation and advice provided within their proposal. We were impressed with the regular communication from Nicholas Buck and the guidance received throughout the process. We enjoyed working with an efficient and friendly team who were highly professional and communicated well throughout.

Dr Susan Calvert, Chief Executive Officer, Medical Sciences Secretariat

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
