Working with Sheffield from beginning to end has been a seamless process. Andrea and her team were flexible to work to our timeline whilst carrying out a thorough and professional recruitment process. Andrea’s knowledge and advice throughout from crafting the ad and Position Description through to candidate selection and facilitating the interview process was well thorough and relevant to our industry and the talent we were wishing to attract. We are thrilled with the appointment we have made and Sheffield’s experienced and considered approach to our recruitment.

Charlotte Connoley, Chair, NZ Grain and Seed Association

We partnered with Sheffield to recruit our new Executive Principal because they are second to none at recruitment in the independent school sector. Ian Taylor is the doyen of recruiters in this sector. His experience in the industry and his knowledge of the market and Christ’s College was invaluable during the process. Sheffield’s astute and thoughtful analysis of the candidates was extremely beneficial as the process reached the business end of short list selection and we appreciated the team approach Sheffield adopted. We are extremely grateful to Sheffield in guiding us to such a good outcome for our School.

Hugh Lindo, Board Chair, Christ's College

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

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

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.
