Client Testimonials

In our last engagement Sheffield brought us a selection of outstanding candidates and the biggest challenge was selecting from such an incredible group of high quality people, but they provided additional tools and advice to assist with the final selection.

Peter Bell, GM People and Culture, NZ Law Society

After going to market we selected Sheffield from previous experience and with the scale of this role, Louise’s market knowledge helped us make the decision. Managing different timezones, the festive season and that the interview team were based in Denmark elongated the process, however this was well managed by Louise. Regular updates from Louise and her understanding of what they were looking for impacted the great quality of candidates brought to the table. It was a seamless process with an excellent result.

Ritchie Legge, GM Human Resources, PGG Wrightson Seeds/DLF

Sheffield's previous reputation led me to using them again. The whole process flowed well from the initial brief and I would highly recommend Sheffield, and Mike Stenhouse or Jane Pollitt to anyone without hesitation.

Colin Weatherall, Acting Chair, Central South Island Fish and Game

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

We had been looking for a best-in-class search firm in New Zealand to fill our President/Managing Director global role, with the right network and credentials and reached out to several. Sheffield and specifically Ian Taylor has been the most responsive and came across as caring and very personally invested.

Luba Domanova, Senior VP HR, Precisional LLC
