Who are Demob Job?

Demob Job was established in 2005 by our Managing Director Adrian Cheesman after he completed a successful full career in The Royal Corps of Signals.

His vision was to build an ethical and professional recruitment business which would champion the employability of personnel who have previously served in our Armed Forces; Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force.

Since those early days we have continued to grow and now have a focused team of consultants delivering permanent recruitment services to clients all over the UK and overseas.

Our future looks bright as we continue to prosper through planned growth.

Candidate Testimonials

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.

Daniel (ex Royal Navy – Avionics/Electrical Engineering Supervisor)

After 6 years in the Royal Navy I wanted more stability for my home life.  Joanne has been a key part of securing my next career and has been very proactive during every stage of job searching. She found my profile online and very quickly lined up several interviews that ticked my boxes.  Even though I was searching for work 200 miles away from where I was based, Joanne managed to set up interviews that fitted in with my schedule.  I cannot thank her and Demob Job enough for their professionalism and constant communication during my career change. 10/10!  Now an Installation and Maintenance Technician in Leicestershire

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’.
