Address is out of date, haven't been there for a year I was told when I tried to visit, hence why only given phone number doesn't work either.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

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!
