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

We appreciated the professionalism with which Patrick and Katy approached the recruitment of our new CE from start to end. They had a very clear and iterative process which they developed with us and supported us through. They had experience in recruiting for for-purpose and member organisations, and understood our particular operating environment, organisational and leadership needs.

Person Recruited: Sam Rowland, Chief Executive

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.

"Mike Stenhouse of Sheffield devoted considerable time and energy in discussion and enquiry, understanding the business and its growth and importantly interpreting the “glue” which has essentially kept the board and management close during the good times and bad. I have come out of this process confident of the appointment process and choice made, and grateful for the energy and guidance of Sheffield."

Craig Boyce, Chair, TransDiesel

From an applicant’s perspective, Andrea was very good at explaining the process and what was expected of me at each stage. Andrea’s feedback was also very beneficial and made me feel very comfortable, with no additional stress on the day or leading up to interviews.

Tim Grocott, Principal, Shirley Boys High School

When recruiting for our Chief Executive we’d heard from other clients that Sheffield were one of the best. They had also just completed hiring an ELT role and I was incredibly impressed by the quality of the process and standard of the candidates shortlisted. The process was incredible. It was clear right from the beginning and even in the tough political environment, we were still provided with a wonderful list of candidates, I can hand on heart say that Sheffield is the best Consultancy in Wellington. They treat their clients and candidates with the highest respect, and go completely out of their way to find the best person for the role
