Candidate Testimonials

From Army Stores Assistant to a Stores Assistant in West Yorkshire

“I received a call from Kelly Chandler at Demob Job about a position near where I live. The process was quick and easy, and I successfully got the job. If you're ex-military looking for work, I highly recommend Kelly and Demob Job.”  Gavin is now a Stores Assistant in West Yorkshire.

From RAF Aircraft Fitter to Maintenance Technician: How Demob Job Found My Perfect Role

“I have done what I believe most service leavers do and saved my leave to have a few months off at the end of their career. I’d been at home making the most of the summer with my wife and kids but with the end of the summer holidays in sight I started to upload my cv to various websites. Almost immediately I was bombarded with calls from pushy recruiters telling me I’d be “perfect” for whatever job they had and would I like to apply but never hearing from them again, after a few weeks I was getting fed up with this. Then Kelly Chandler from Demob Job gave me a call. We had an actual conversation about what sort of employment and employer I was looking for, discussed the skills I had developed in the RAF and we ended the call with assurance she would find something suitable for me.  I got a call back from Kelly a few days later about a position available in a company that met my specification. My CV was sent off, I went for an interview and got the job! Kelly was there to support and guide me through the whole process and I’m looking forward to starting my job on Monday. I can’t recommend Demob Job highly enough!” Gary completed a full career in the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Fitter and is now employed as a Maintenance Technician in Merseyside.

Paul (completed a 22-year career in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer)

REME Vehicle Technician secure new career as Engineering Surveyor

"I first contacted Demob Job after seeing their Instagram page and was immediately impressed with their professionalism and positive attitude towards finding me employment. It was clear from the outset that they had a lot of connections in the Engineering industry and were keen to get to know me. They reassured me about the process which in turn took a lot of pressure off me while I was conducting my resettlement phase. Having then spoken with Kelly Chandler, she quickly gained an in-depth understanding of what skills and experience I had and began to match me with potential employers the next day. When a job was identified as a good fit for me, Kelly explained the job specifications to me clearly to make sure I understood everything. Exactly one week after first contacting Demob Job, I had an interview, and a job offer which I accepted. Kelly and the team were fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend them enough.  I am now an Engineering Surveyor with a great company in South Yorkshire”.

From REME soldier to Operations Director: Demob Job recruitment support

"After first seeing a job advertised for an Operations Director and, submitting an application, Demob Job has been nothing short of amazing. Joanne Foster took the time to fully understand both mine and the client’s requirements to ensure I was the right person for the job. I was kept updated at all stages of the interview process and was delighted to be offered the role. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanne and the team at Demob Job for any ex-military engineers looking for a new opportunity." – Former Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) member, now an Operations Director in North Yorkshire.

Jack (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)

“Demob Job, have been amazing in helping me secure my new career.  As a service leaver, having served many years in the Royal Air Force, joining the civilian world was daunting. But finding Demob Job was exactly what I needed, they understood my position and made everything as pain-free as possible.  I was introduced to the employer and an interview was arranged within 24 hours.  Throughout the process, Demob Job kept in touch and helped me prepare for the interview, giving me some great advice.  I was offered the job, and again, Adrian called congratulating me giving me all the information on the next steps, staying in touch right up to my first day in my new job. I would give Demob Job 10 out of 10”.  Jack is now an Engineer Surveyor in Essex.

Mike (ex Royal Air Force electrically biased Avionics Engineer)

Joanne at Demob Job is unlike any other recruiter I have been in contact with as I am sure all the recruiters with Demob Job are.  Joanne was friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in putting the correct person in the correct role. Many recruiters merely contact you to fill their numbers, filling you with false hope and never returning the many phone calls you make to them. From the initial phone call I received from Joanne to the last I felt Demob and Joanne wanted to get the best possible outcome for me and not only for them or the company.   I will be recommending Demob job and Joanne to all service leavers I know as I wish someone had recommended them to me months ago.  Thank you Joanne and Demob Job.  Mike is now a Field Electrical Engineer in Tyne & Wear.
