Our approach

We understand that changing jobs can be a daunting experience, especially if it's been a while since the employee has prepared a CV or attended an interview. Our approach is structured, yet flexible, and tailored to the individual needs of each participant. We use our knowledge of the New Zealand job market and our experience in recruitment, selection, and search to provide relevant and practical information, advice, and skill development.

During times of change or restructuring, impacted individuals can often experience feelings of self-doubt, vulnerability, and grief. Sheffield is committed to providing support that enables your employees to retain a positive and confident mindset to their career during this time.


Bespoke solutions

Our approach starts with getting to know the person, their needs and aspirations.
We also incorporate understanding the psychology of change, and how to access support available to them.

The transition coaching is then tailored to meet individual needs and is delivered in four or more sessions, scheduled at the participants convenience. They can choose to meet with the transition coach face-to-face at our offices, or online. We offer tiered packages from Standard to Executive level, including group workshop options. 

They can select from a wide range of topics they want to focus on, including: 

  • Navigating career change,
  • Optimising cover letters, CVs, Linkedin and other online profiles,
  • Job market navigation and support,
  • Defining career values and ‘personal brand’,
  • Identifying transferable skills, and
  • Interview preparation training.

Complementing the transition coaching sessions, Sheffield provides participants with targeted workbooks and resources to support their specific needs, help them work towards their goals, and make the most of their face-to-face time with their coach.

Career success starts with understanding yourself and your impact on others. In addition to the resources outlined above, Sheffield can provide an optional in-depth Personality and Psychometric Assessment reports.
