Case Study: Development West Coast strengthens regional leadership team with Sheffield

Development West Coast - Customer Case Study

The customer, Development West Coast (DWC), faced the challenge of finding a new Chief Executive to lead economic development in the region following their incumbent CEO's retirement. They engaged the vendor, Sheffield, an executive search firm, for its professional recruitment process, national reach, and comprehensive service offering to find a candidate with the right leadership attributes and local stakeholder skills.

Sheffield implemented its thorough recruitment process, which included psychometric testing and behavioral interviews, to successfully place the new CEO and two subsequent executives. This solution was rigorously applied even during a lockdown, relying on remote interviews to ensure the right skillset and cultural fit. As a result, Sheffield exceeded DWC's expectations, seamlessly placing the ideal candidates and earning high praise from the client for their professionalism and effective outcomes.
