Client Testimonials

The benefits of Sheffield went beyond the professional services and frameworks for our appointment process, it also included access to their contacts and networks to ensure we gained the best applicant pool from which to find our best candidate. It is important to work with recruiters who really know your specific sector, and how to match up people with the right organisation.

Mark Wilson, Executive Principal, Kristin School

The correspondence, interview experience and application process from start to finish was absolutely brilliant. The care and way you all went about handling the process with sensitivity and as real people (not the usual impersonal forms and automated responses) made it all the more reassuring. I particularly appreciated your transparency in correspondence and in your candidate briefing pack about the stages of the process, with clear expectations from the outset. Thank you. Not just because of the outcome, this has been the most professionally managed recruitment process I've ever experienced. Please also pass on my thanks again to Andrea, I enjoyed our conversations - her warmth and energy was a joy!

Candidate

Sheffield continues to be the benchmark in executive recruitment...they have done an outstanding job in finding the right candidates and making the recruitment process streamlined, efficient and very easy for me.

Tony Whale, General Manager, Central Heating NZ

Mike and Louise, and their team at Sheffield, made the process of finding the right applicant for our new tier two Chief Operating Officer role feel like a ‘walk in the park’.

Joanna Cranness, People, Safety and Wellbeing Manager, Tasman District Council

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
