Client Testimonials

I just wanted to thank you for all your help in the process. Obviously you need to be objective and fair for every applicant, but you do so in such a professional manner whilst being hugely supportive and lovely to talk/correspond with. So... thank you. I genuinely feel you have helped me land what really is, a dream job for me.

Anonymous

The process with you has been brilliant - thanks for your support throughout Kate. I really appreciated your direct style of communication and interesting and challenging questions.

Candidate Anonymous

I was very happy with the process you ran Mike. My interactions with both you and Gina were excellent – good, clear, prompt communications, and great people to deal with.

Anonymous Candidate

The added value to the process was high-level, trustworthy and had integrity - Sheffield gave us the tools to make our decision with confidence. I always felt supported by Sheffield and always knew Mike was at the end of the phone to ask any questions if I needed to.

Marie Black, Mayor, Hurunui District Council

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
