I’m incredibly grateful to Daisy Miller at Bentley for her outstanding support in helping me secure my new role. Within just two weeks, Daisy arranged six interviews and helped me land two fantastic job offers. By the end of the second week, I was exhausted but thrilled to sign a new contract. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine support made what is usually a stressful process feel seamless. I can’t thank her enough for her hard work and commitment. If I could give 10 stars, I would! If you're looking for a recruitment expert who truly cares about your success, I wholeheartedly recommend Daisy.

I had the pleasure of working with Ben Sultmann at Bentley, and I can't recommend him highly enough! Ben actually reached out to me as he knew I was the perfect fit for a role, and from there, he was able to answer all my questions and was incredibly supportive every step of the way. His communication was excellent, keeping me well-informed and confident from start to finish. If you’re looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares about finding the right fit for both candidates and employers, Ben is the person to talk to.
Camille
Many thanks to Brenda Jameson for your support with my job search. I could not believe that within 6 days after having a chat with you, I got the offer from a mid-tier firm which I had always dreamed about. You gave me the confidence that I was lack of. There was so much effort you have put into. Bentley Recruitment team are doing such an amazing job!
Sapphire
I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Karrie Harte and my god was she amazing! After one conversation with Karrie, she knew exactly what I was after, and she found the perfect fit for me with a great company. Karrie kept me up to date the whole time. Thank you, Karrie.
Katrina
Richard was a pleasure to deal with and delivered everything he promised. Not only did he find the person we were looking for, but he also presented three candidates we would have been happy to hire. He took the time to understand our needs and matched candidates to our business perfectly. He was always prompt with candidate feedback, and it was clear he invested real time and care in the process. I’d recommend Richard to anyone looking for a standout recruitment experience. We’ll be asking for him again whenever we need staff.
Robert
I highly recommend Ashley Gentz. He was friendly, responsive, and offered great advice throughout the process. Ashley presented realistic opportunities that aligned perfectly with my goals and was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish.

Michele is exceptional. She helped me secure a job within just a few weeks, carefully matching me with roles that aligned perfectly with what I was looking for. She kept me consistently informed throughout the process and provided great insights into the firms and managers before each interview, thanks to her strong client knowledge. I had a fantastic experience working with her and couldn’t recommend her more highly.
L.K.
I resigned on Monday, contacted Daisy on Wednesday, sent through my resume that evening, and spoke with her on Thursday. By then, she already had interviews lined up for me. For the role I really wanted, Daisy provided detailed insights that helped me prepare and interview confidently. Her support was quick, professional, and incredibly effective.
R.S.
I recently worked with Jake, and he went above and beyond to assist me with my career goals. He consistently followed up on the progress of my applications and efficiently addressed any questions I had. Jake made the job search process much less stressful, while representing me to firms that aligned perfectly with what I was looking for. I highly recommend Jake, I've had nothing but a positive experience with him throughout the process.
J.
Once we engaged Bentley and began working with Scott, the service was nothing short of outstanding. Communication was clear and consistent, the process moved quickly, and the experience was genuinely enjoyable. We’ve had a very positive outcome and look forward to working together again in the future.
Andrea
Anthony, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help. It has been a rough couple of months trying to find a role. Forensic accounting is something I have always wanted to pursue, but the market is quite niche in NZ, and most people tend to go into financial or management accounting roles. Again, thank you for helping me land a role I am passionate about.
T.E
For those seeking new challenges or simply a better work environment, I highly recommend Bentley Recruitment. With other firms I was left with little guidance and made to feel inadequate, with Bentley Recruitment, in particular Daisy, I was guided throughout the entire process! I was able to land a brilliant job that seems almost tailored to suit my professional needs.
Caelen
I had such a smooth experience working with Ben to find our newest team member. I've worked with a lot of recruiters over the years, and have found Bentley, and specifically Ben Sultmann to be professional and easy to work with. I'm thrilled with our new hire and am looking forward to building my team further with Bentley.
Nadia
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Scott Munro, a Senior Recruitment Consultant at one of the top employment recruiting organizations in QLD. His professionalism, kindness, and patience made a significant impact on my job search experience. Scott went above and beyond, providing me with all the necessary information, guidance, and support, allowing me to effectively position myself as a job seeker. Thanks to his efforts, I was able to secure employment within just one week of actively seeking new opportunities.
Keethan
Brenda was a pleasure to deal with. Undertaking a big relocation from Melbourne, Brenda was able to help and was very professional through the whole process. I felt well looked after and I am very thankful.
Stuart
Finding the right recruitment agency is like looking for a needle in a haystack! I had my job search questions and needs met in advance, which is a rare commodity in any industry today. I was fortunate to have Karrie Harte as my consultant; her passion and professionalism offered me a wealth of knowledge and support during the process and could honestly say, she made it enjoyable! Karrie's genuine style and skill is a credit to Bentley, and I felt more like a human being and less like a number, in what I thought would be a stressful endeavour. I can assure you; it was not at all stressful, it was a process I actually felt a part of and thoroughly enjoyed.
Cobby
I had a really great experience as a candidate with Bentley Recruitment. In particular, Richard Erikson was very communicative and friendly throughout the recruitment process. He would always check in with me to see how I’m doing/follow up on any tasks, and I always felt supported and heard! I’ve worked with a few recruiters in the past couple of years - both as a candidate and as the hiring party, and this was by far my best experience. Thanks Bentley Recruitment, and especially Richard, for such a lovely experience!
Jessica
Huge shoutout to Ashley at Bentley Recruitment! I can’t thank him enough for the amazing support during my job search. Ashley’s got serious skills; he tailored opportunities that matched my career goals perfectly. Super easy to work with, responsive, and made the whole process a breeze. I’m now in a job I absolutely love, and I’d 100% recommend Ashley to anyone on the job hunt. Thanks a million, Ashley, you’re the real MVP!
X.L.
I experienced a distinct combination of professionalism and friendliness that can often be hard to find among the multitude of recruitment agencies. Richard Erikson was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I spoke to a few recruiters during my latest job search - unfortunately, I encountered a number that seemed more interested in persuading me to consider sub-optimal roles, rather than truly listening to the candidate's goals. Bentley soars above the pack, recruiting with a genuine attempt to place candidates with clients that are the right fit. Thanks again Richard! I would gladly recommend you and Bentley to anyone looking to take the next step in their career!
