Client Testimonials

Mike and the team at Sheffield provided a fantastic service. There was a really robust process that resulted in some great applicants for us to consider....and are very happy with the outcome.

Will Doughty, Chief Executive Officer, Kaikoura District Council

I would recommend partnering with Sheffield. They make the end-to-end process so easy and make sure the candidates are updated on progress all the time. At this challenging time of getting great talent, Sheffield makes sure the processes are quick and easy - both for me as the hiring manager and the candidates.

Anton Youngman, General Manager Sector Insights, Ministry of Justice

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

Sheffield has real strength in the culture transformation and development area, which is why we decided to partner with them on the appointment of this newly established position. Sheffield provided a superb service – the whole process was flawless – it was easy, on time and excellently executed.

Kirstie Gardener, GM People and Safety, Lyttelton Port Company

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
