Who are Demob Job?

Candidate Testimonials

Simon was a Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer

“Demob Job have been outstanding. From initial contact from Kelly, right through to myself being offered the job and even after that step, Kelly has been a conduit between myself and the hiring manager. Always keeping me up to speed in the interview process and providing feedback from the interviewers. Answering any of my questions or finding the information from the hiring manager. Nothing was difficult. This whole process has been a joy!” Simon was a Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer and is now a Field Service Engineer in Wiltshire.

Carl (ex British Army Royal Engineers)

I applied for a position that I found advertised with Demob Job early one morning as the location suited and the job spec was very much within my skill set.  I very quickly received a call from Joanne at Demob Job to explain the vacancy in detail and to discuss my background and expectations.  This lead to me being introduced to the company which resulted in an interview being arranged very quickly.  Prior to the interview, Joanne gave me some very good advice and pointers.  The interview went very well and I was offered the position.  Even after the job offer Demob Job still contacted me to ensure that I was completely happy.  I found everybody who I dealt with at Demob Job, especially Joanne, extremely helpful and polite.

Stephen (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)

‘Jack was a fantastic support going through the application process for the job. I had applied for another position through Demob Job but Jack identified a further role that he believed was a better fit. When it came to interview time his support increased dramatically, always keeping in touch with the employer and myself continuously updating us on the next stage. After the interview Jack’s hard work continued by communicating with both parties making sure each was happy. Jack put in maximum effort during the entire process, and after I had been successful his follow-up care was second to none.  Not only a total professional but an absolute top guy’. Steve now works as a Maintenance Engineer in Scotland.

Clint (ex Royal Air Force Chef)

After recently completing my diploma in plumbing and heating, I had spent many months trying to find the right job opportunity. I had spent 20 years in catering within the RAF and offshore oil and gas, and have been seeking a career change, when Adrian from Demob Job contacted me about an opportunity with a respectable company which included great training and career prospects.  Adrian was excellent in explaining the job role to me, identifying all my transferable skills that would make me a good fit for the role, and after putting me forward, managed to secure an interview for me.  I am sure that had I applied direct to the company I would not have heard back.  After completing the interview, and a small skills test, I managed to secure the role and am awaiting to start the training course.  Cannot recommend Adrian and Demob Job enough. Highly professional in every stage of the process.

Anthony (Royal Air Force Engineering Manager)

“Having uploaded my CV to various sites (LinkedIn, CV-Library etc) I started to receive calls from numerous recruitment agents. I quickly discovered many of these agents were merely utilising algorithms to match keywords with job specs. I found myself asking some if they’d actually read my CV as the roles being suggested where miles away from my skill set!   Joanne at Demob job couldn’t have been further away from this in her approach. Warm and friendly from the outset with a genuine interest in my experience and intended career direction. By the end of the first call, it was evident time had been invested to match me with the role on offer. Her continued support throughout the whole interview process was most welcome and soon alleviated any unease felt towards my first interview in over 30 years. I’m pleased to say that despite my initial nerves the outcome was successful. Contact details for Demob Job should be included in all career transition workshops, they provide a service that can only be described as superb.” Anthony is now employed as an Engineering Auditor.

Sam (Served in the Royal Air Force as a mechanically biased Aircraft Engineer)

"From start to finish Joanne and the Demob Job team have been nothing but excellent in all aspects of supporting me into transitioning into a new role. From helping with interview prep, CV support, and very fast, informative communication. With Joanne and Demob Job, you can feel that they honestly care about you and your transition into your new role, and it really comes across in the help and support you receive. I could not personally recommend Joanne and Demob Job recruitment agency more highly" Sam is now a Project Manager in Lancashire.

Simon (Scots Guards)

Having applied for a role, I was contacted by Joanne, from Demob Job, very quickly.  She took my details whilst asking pertinent questions that allowed her to judge my suitability for the role in a very quick and professional manner.  Her communication with me throughout the process was faultless, and her openness to solving any issues was second to none.  Joanne made what could potentially have been a fraught process extremely simple.  I have no hesitation in recommending both Joanne and Demob Job to any veteran seeking a new position; you will not be disappointed.  Simon is now a Contract Manager in Dorset).
