  • ​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.

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.

  • ​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.

  • 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.

  • ​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.

  • ​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.

  • ​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.

  • ​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!

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!

  • 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!
