Who are Demob Job?

Candidate Testimonials
Justin (ex-Royal Air Force Mechanical Aircraft Technician)
I left the RAF and began the laborious and slightly soul destroying task of searching for a job appropriate to my skill set. I was in contact with an old colleague who linked me to the advertisement posted on Demob Job by Joanne. I carefully read the criteria requested and contacted Joanne who promptly arranged a chat with me via telephone the next day. Joanne advised me of what the job entailed and after a brief informal Q&A, proposed to put me forward for the role of Field Service Engineer at a Marine company. I was thrilled to hear back that the company were interested in speaking to me via web interview initially and I was coached on some salient points to assist me with techniques and common questions. That interview was completed and Joanne kept in touch between myself and the company for feedback. I was then contacted back by Kim as Joanne had a holiday but I was made aware of this well in advance and Kim became my contact. I was delighted to hear that I was invited to the company HQ on Friday for a face to face interview after being shortlisted. I was delighted to be contacted by Kim to give me the good news that I had been offered the job. Joanne and Kim have been amazing throughout and I cannot thank them enough. I would describe Joanne and Kim as dynamic, highly professional, very supportive and confidence inspiring. I would recommend Demob Job to any service leaver be it imminent or out of the services for some time. Field Service Engineer, Durham
Amanda (ex RAF Intelligence Analyst)
Huge thank you to Adrian at Demob Job for his help and support successfully finding a role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a week of speaking to Adrian, I had had a successful interview for a job that excited me and started work 2 weeks after that. Adrian kept in touch throughout the whole process and unlike some other agencies, seemed to really care about finding me the right role. Now an Instructor in Wiltshire
Chris (ex Royal Air Force – Radar Technician)
Leaving the military is a daunting thought for everyone. But to leave when a pandemic is in full swing really made me rethink my options. However, after speaking with Adrian at Demob Job, my mind was at ease. We spoke about what I was looking for with regards to my future. After only days he found what I can only describe, as a dream job for me. From then on the process was swift. I never felt alone and Adrian was there every step of the way. A few months ago I was petrified about how I would pay to keep a roof over my head. Now I’m comfortably in a job I enjoy. I can’t thank Adrian and Demob Job enough for getting me on the right path to a fulfilling career. Now a Maintenance Engineer in London
From Royal Navy Petty Officer to Project Engineer: A Smooth Transition into Civilian Employment
“My experience with Demob Job started with Adrian, the company's MD, contacting me on LinkedIn. After sending my CV I was quickly contacted by Joanne with a suggested role I could be well suited for. Joanne explained the role and informed me of the company and what they do. After expressing my interest, I was invited for an interview the following week and offered the job the week after. Overall, it was a smooth and rapid process. I received regular contact from Joanne by email to complete all the relevant paperwork and documentation, and also by phone with sound advice, words of wisdom, encouragement and reassurance. Joanne made the transition from military to civilian employment easy with no fuss or stress. I will be recommending Demob Job to my former military friends and colleagues.” Dean was a Petty Officer Marine Engineering Technician in the Royal Navy and is now employed as a Project Engineer.
Kevin (completed a 25-year career in the Royal Artillery)
Emma, thank you for contacting me regarding a new job opportunity. Your help, support, and guidance throughout the whole process were second to none. You are an asset to Demob Job, and I will be recommending you and your team to friends leaving the Armed Forces. Once again, a big thank you, and I wish you and the Demob Job team every success. Kevin is now employed as a Warehouse Team Leader in the North East.
Mark (ex REME Avionics Technician)
I phoned Demob Job to enquire about a job I had seen advertised which closely matched my skill set. I was put in touch with Joanne at Demob Job who explained the vacancy in detail and discussed my background and expectations. This lead to me being introduced to the company which resulted in an interview being arranged very quickly. The interview was a three-step process, one interview by phone, and two further interviews face to face. Joanne kept in constant touch with myself and the employer making sure that I knew what to expect and that I was fully prepared for each interview. Without Joanne`s help, support, and encouragement, it would have been extremely unlikely that I would have got the job. 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. Field Service Engineer, North West
From REME Vehicle Mechanic to Field Installation Technician: A Standout Recruitment Experience
“I applied for a job via the CTP portal, the response from the Demob Job was very quick and the first call was very informative regarding the role. Joanne was very accommodating with setting up interviews and has kept me updated during the whole process. Even a quick phone call to say they are currently waiting to hear back from the employer was always appreciated. I can honestly say this is the best experience I have ever had with a recruiter, I have already recommended them to other service leavers and will continue to do so in the future.” James was a Level 3 Vehicle Mechanic in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and is now employed as a Field Installation Technician in Leicestershire.
