Candidate Testimonials
Robert (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
I recieved a phone call from Emma explaining a vacancy had become available. Emma was very polite and helpful throughout the process and advised me before and after the interview. Any questions or queries I had were dealt with by Emma after hearing the good news of a successful interview and following job offer. Had Emma not of made the original phone call recognising my skills and job to suit I would not find myself working for a successful company in a role I enjoy. Thank you Emma. Project Engineer (Mechancial), Northumberland
Jon (ex British Army Commissioned Officer)
After receiving an out of the blue email from a friend saying "this job has your name on it” I contacted Emma at Demob Job. After a few questions Emma sorted out all the paperwork, CVs, Job descriptions, introductions etc within hours; all this work led to an interview in a matter of days followed a week or so later by a second interview all culminating in me receiving a job offer. During the whole process, Emma kept in contact, giving me interview tips and helpful pointers on how best to prepare for the interviews. I was certainly made to feel valued and not just a number as with other recruitment agencies; at all stages, I received a focused and professional service. Emma was proactive in her approach calling me before and after the interview to check all was ok and obtain my feedback on how it had gone. She chased down the prospective employer to get their feedback which she duly relayed to myself. In short, the whole process, which can be nerve racking to say the least, was relatively painless and hassle-free and totally professional, even down to the responses to my stupid questions. Would I recommend Demob Job, in a heartbeat! Jon is now Head of Defence Operations within a very successful commercial company located in the North East.
Jack (ex Royal Marine)
“I came across Demob Job after searching online. I found the website extremely easy to navigate and was full of information on different jobs and where they were. I found a job which I applied for and I was very quickly contacted by Emma who informed me of the next steps. It wasn’t long until the interviews were set up and conducted and throughout that time, I was kept up to date with what was going on by Emma and Joanne. All in all, a very professional and helpful place, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for new employment.” Jack is now a Field Service Engineer in Gloucestershire.
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

Sean (ex Royal Navy – Aircraft Engineering Technician)
I recently left the Royal Navy after 5 years’ service and I was struggling to find a job that suited my skillset. Joanne contacted me about a vacancy that she thought would match up with my previous military role. She was with me every step of the way always willing to advise me and she was a great liaison between the company and myself. With Joanne's help, I secured a job in an industry that will only expand in the future. I’d like to thank Joanne and the Demob Job team for helping me on my journey to a new career. Now a Field Service Engineer covering the North East
