What people say...

Inspiring and motivating, that is what comes to mind if I describe my time working with Stuart. I have had the pleasure of working with Stuart over a number of months, while working remotely on projects together during the pandemic and while he was on site delivering training in our Irish and UK offices. Having worked with him on numerous projects, the drive he brings to a group is phenomenal. As for his training, his ability to deliver key information and to keep his audience engaged is second to none. It doesn’t do him any harm that his Scottish brogue is very easy to listen to, (however his take on an Irish accent is very Tom Cruise, “Far & Away). I would have no hesitation in recommending Stuart Bentley to any organisation who is undertaking a new technology projects or is looking to deliver top-class in-house training for their staff. Thank you Stuart for all your help and advice.

Kevin O’Malley Business Systems Manager – TTM Healthcare

Stuart really is an expert in all things RDB / Access Recruitment CRM! If you are and existing RDB/ Access Recruitment CRM user that wants to ensure you are getting the most from the system or are looking to set up for the first time I would strongly advise that you give Stuart a call. Stuart has recently helped us to set up a project to move our company over from the desktop version of RDB to Access Recruitment CRM and to set up the new compliance tool . In a short space of time Stuart was able to work with us to review and understand how we currently use RDB, advise on features that we may not be making the most of and help us make any changes necessary to ensure that our transition to Access Recruitment CRM is seamless. Stuart has shown us how the new compliance tool works, trained us so we know exactly what we need to do to set the system up and is helping us communicate with Access Group to ensure that we end up with a final product that does everything that we need. I highly recommend Stuart and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Michael Crossley Performance and Development Director - The Placement Group

During a recent migration to a new CRM provider, our new provider recommended the services of Stuart Bentley to assist in the complicated process of migrating 40+ users and significant data to our new CRM. Stuart was invaluable in assisting us to scope, migrate and implement the new CRM on time and within budget. Stuart has an encyclopedic knowledge of RDB and a logical approach to translating our processes and systems so that they were easily accommodated by the new CRM. We also utilised Stuarts expertise in formulating and delivering a highly bespoke introductory training program, where he trained all of our staff on the key things they needed to be able to use the new CRM. I would highly recommend Stuart to anyone migrating to RDB as an essential part of the migration process. He will save you time, money and possibly your sanity!

Leigh Skinner CEO – Prospect Health

Stuart was engaged by Nicholas Associates Group to assist myself with the implementation of our business-critical project - namely a full migration from Bond Adapt to RDB ProNet. Stuart initially helped to steer the project strategy before becoming heavily involved in the specification capture of our data migrations from multiple offices and business streams within our Group. Stuart’s knowledge of RDB ProNet was proven to be invaluable to Nicholas Associates Group allowing the Project Team to deploy the new RDB ProNet system across the group with very little disruption to the business operation. One of Stuart’s strengths is having an impartial view coupled together with his overarching knowledge of the system. Stuart challenged the Nicholas Associates Project Team, our new Software Partner and the status quo where necessary. He delivered advanced “train the trainer” sessions to help our System Specialists to gain more system knowledge. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stuart (Needlestack) to any business who are embarking on a similar journey.

Nick Jenkins Head of Continuous Improvement - Nicholas Associates

Stuart has been a breath of fresh air for me. I have spoken to a significant number of suppliers from various backgrounds since setting up HRS and one thing Stuart has always demonstrated is the ability to care about my business, my consultants and I. With his background in engineering, recruitment, software and people made Stuart the perfect person to help optimise the way we use our systems. His knowledge of RDB and their products was second to none and I am already seeing great value in his support with my business in just the first few days. Thank you for your support Stuart as I would definitely recommend you to others and will be back in touch about more business soon.

Ricky Martin CEO – Hyper Recruitment

Having gone through the pain of choosing the right CRM system to help us grow our business, we chose RDB ProNet from the Access group. Stuart had been recommended to us by the Access Group to run the project as he has been working with RDB for 22 years. I would highly recommend you do the same as after all, he is the expert; having been their first client, and then implemented the product as a client on several occasions before becoming an independent consultant helping recruitment companies like ours around the globe. Stuart will adapt and configure the system to suit your needs, and then train staff on how to use it. More importantly, Stuart will plan and manage your data migration; supporting your user acceptance testing process as well. Stuart acts as a client champion between us the client and the Access Group the software suppliers. Stuart came to our office to train all of our staff and hold their hands through the implementation phase and Go Live. He made all of our staff stand and swear an allegiance to RDB (RDB is everything, everything is RDB). He’s one of the good guys out there, who genuinely wants people to be able to walk away knowing that he has delivered. He also knows recruitment as well as programming and software, so was full of ideas to aide our business This has been the biggest business decision we have had to make in the 15-year history of the company to change our CRM system, and with thanks to you for your knowledge and support coupled with that of my dedicated management team, it has been such a smooth transition.

Julian Thompson Managing Director - 24-7 Staffing

When we made the decision to move to RDB, Stuart worked with our project team providing support and guidance. This was a massive change for our business and Stuart was always professional and helpful no matter what we threw at him. He worked on our data migration, produced numerous video guides, rolled out training for our staff and was always on hand with operational advice. Thank you to Stuart for his work in the successful implementation of RDB.

Jon Underwood Operations Director at Daniel Owen Ltd

Stuart is incredibly professional in all his business dealings but also has a great personality and an easy way about him which hugely assisted both myself and the team when we were having to action some fairly challenging processes and timelines. Stuart came out from sunny Scotland to train our staff and we were similarly impressed with his ability to engage the wider team in the change process.
