Candidate Testimonials

Royal Navy Marine Engineer secures new career as an Offshore Technician

“I recently left the Armed Forces and was looking for a new challenge.  After looking for a new career by myself I wasn't having much luck until I was contacted by Joanne Foster at Demob Job. She offered excellent service and helped me get a job offer that was beyond my expectations. The Demob Job was very friendly and helpful, offered advice and assistance with preparing for interviews, and made searching for a job as straightforward and stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend the services of Demob Job, and have already recommended them to others who are leaving their military careers.”  – Former Royal Navy Marine Engineer, now an Offshore Technician.

Nathan (ex Royal Air Force (RAF) Avionics Technician)

Whilst scrolling through the latest job vacancies on LinkedIn, I found a Field Service Engineer position that caught my eye. I wasn’t too sure if Demob Job could help me, as I left the Armed Forces nine years ago. I initially called up Demob Job ex-military recruitment agency to request further details and I spoke to Joanne Foster. Joanne was fantastic at explaining the vacancy further and the recruitment process. The whole process from start to finish was great, with Joanne supporting me at every stage. I cannot thank Joanne enough for her help and guidance. Thoroughly recommend!  Nathan is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in the London area.

Ian (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

I just want to say a massive thank you to Joanne and the Demob Job team. Having left the Armed Forces after 23-years’ service and not knowing what the process of getting/finding a new job was, Joanne made the process easy and clear from the beginning. I have now started the next chapter in my life and got a second career. Ian is now an Electrical Engineer in Plymouth, Devon.

From Army Infantry to Stores Assistant: I cannot recommend Demob Job enough

“Right from the beginning Demob Job stood out, this started from reading the online job advert and me contacting them.  Everything about the vacancy was just superb telling you everything you needed to know.  Within an hour of applying Kelly Chandler from Demob Job was in touch.  Kelly puts you at ease and asks all the relevant questions for the employer and also answers all your questions making sure everything is ok.  All through the recruitment process Kelly was fantastic, informing and supporting me at every step. On the morning of the interview Kelly called me to make sure I was ok allowing me to ask any last-minute questions. After the interview yet again Kelly was superb.  Demob and Kelly were just superb from start to finish making the whole experience pleasant during what is normally a nervous and stressful time. Well done Demob Job, I can't recommend you enough, professional and outstanding all the way!” – Former British Army Infantry, now a Stores Assistant.

John (Previously served in the Royal Navy as an Engineer)

“Joanne was very helpful in finding me employment on upon transitioning from a 15-year career in the Royal Navy.  Although at the time there were limited employers advertising roles that matched my skillset, Joanne managed to find hidden roles with local companies with whom she and Demob Job have close relationships with.  Her hard work, perseverance and contacts within industry managed to secure me my ideal role.  I'd also like to add that her support and mentoring during the process, helped enable my success in securing employment, during what can be a stressful process. I would definitely recommend Joanne and Demob Job to any service leaver”.  John is now employed as a Project Engineer in the North East.

Cameron (ex-Royal Navy Leading Marine Engineering Mechanic)

“Since day one both Joanne and Demob Job have been fantastic. From the off, I was instantly put at ease and the worry and anxiety of leaving the armed forces and finding employment, quickly evaporated.  Joanne was fantastic in her role. Clearly working hard and diligently to find me the best possible job to fit my criteria. She was a fantastic listener, great motivator and was great at reassuring me following challenging interviews and tests.  Overall, I cannot recommend Demob Job enough. Their ability to find work for service leavers is brilliant and thanks to them I feel optimistic and excited for my future on civvy street.  Thank you for everything Joanne”.  Cameron is now employed as a Shift Maintenance Technician in County Durham.
