Report
Address is out of date, havent been there for a year I was told when I tried to visit, hence why only given phone number doesnt work either. Nobody replies to the email addresses or contact us message listed on the website. Not sure if theyre even still in operation but theres no way to get a hold of anyone in the company considering theyre supposedly a citys leading recruitment company it sounds more unorganised than any other Ive come across so far. Especially disappointing at a time when everyone is looking for jobs so much

Report
Bentley Associates represent the very worst of the recruitment industry. If you are looking for a new role, don't waste your time with these cowboys. If you are an employer looking for well vetted candidates, then look elsewhere. These unscrupulous time wasters just want a quick buck. AVOID!
