Executive Search, Assessment, Board & Leadership Advisory Services | New Zealand

We used Sheffield for the recruitment of our Business Systems Manager and I really enjoyed working with Andrea. The interviews were run smoothly and she really got us thinking about the questions we were asking to get the right candidate. The process was smooth and well run, we’re really happy with the result.

Stephen Vidulich, Head of Technology, Enviro NZ

Person Recruited: Trevor Jones, Business Systems Manager

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

YNZ requested proposals from 3 consultancies. Above all, Sheffield stood out as the consultancy with the right experience and a strong market reputation to match. Sheffield invested the time necessary to learn about YNZ, our culture and our requirements. Ian Taylor, from Sheffield, is widely respected and undertook to be fully immersed in leading our project (which he delivered on). My recommendation would be, get Ian Taylor on the team!

Greg Knowles, Chair, Yachting NZ

Person Recruited: Steve Armitage, Chief Executive Officer

The particular points of difference in working with Sheffield were their ability to quickly and accurately identify our needs, their general responsiveness and excellent in-house team who could provide specific insight and skills. Their sensitivity at a difficult time for the school, and addressing this head-on in terms of branding and appropriate messaging in all outward-facing material and response to candidate queries was outstanding. I would recommend Sheffield without question in supporting schools in the recruitment of senior roles.

Johanna Clark, Human Resources Manager, Dilworth Trust Board

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.
