Client Testimonials

Nick provided sound insight to enable full preparation for the ensuing interviews, as well as asking the challenging questions to ensure suitability for the role. While extremely professional, his easy-going manner and great support team behind him made the employment process an enjoyable one.

Adrian van Dyk, General Manager, Resonant

Thank you for the very thorough and professional process that you followed with selection of an EA for College House. Your understanding of our business needs, attention to detail and timely, accurate communication was superb. We are delighted with the outcome.

Richard Taylor, College House. Principal

The biggest value-add we experienced from Louise was the thoroughness, quality and depth of the candidate reports – they are detailed and insightful and are always in the context of understanding the role and the organisation. I highly recommend Sheffield, especially for the managerial and technically specialist roles, which is where they add real value.

Gary Andrews, Manager People and Capability, Invercargill City 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

"Mike Stenhouse was great to work with during the short-listing process. His service was timely, he added a valuable perspective to the interview panel, and liaised effectively with long and short-listed candidates"

David Stevens, General Manager People, Culture & Communication, PowerNet
