Client Testimonials

The level of relationship management and client care exceeded my expectations. This included explanations of the process and costs, and checking in on our expectations and needs. It was a pleasure dealing with Nicholas Buck throughout the process. I would highly recommend Sheffield.

Mark Bowater, Chair, NZ Recreation Association

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

I was impressed with the quality of the candidates provided and how well Sheffield understood the brief of what we were after. The candidates were well briefed prior to our interviews, and I had a number of comments from them on the candidate care they received. Sheffield far exceeded our expectations and anyone choosing to partner with them would not be disappointed.

Cathy Hendry, Manaing Director, Strategic Pay

For this role we needed the market knowledge we knew Sheffield had. The Search process brought a great calibre of candidates. Sheffield’s knowledge of the applicants, overall experience in the market and handling of the process was a huge benefit for us. We had a tricky timeframe with Christmas looming but Louise was able to deliver within the timeframes. We are very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend Sheffield to others.

Hamish Dobbie, Chief Executive Officer, Hurunui District Council

We have always been happy with our past experiences with Sheffield, I have always trusted them and the process was done really well. I would and have already, recommend Sheffield to others and would use them again if I needed to.

Bryan Cadogan, Mayor, Clutha District Council
