Candidate Testimonials

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.

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”.

Andrew (ex Royal Air Force – Mechanical Aircraft Technician)

Thanks for all the help and support I’ve received from Joanne at Demob Job with this transition to a new career of Field Service Technician. You’ve provided great knowledge about the company, role and some very useful tips for both interview stages pointing out transferable skills that can be taken from a military background. Thanks again I wouldn’t have been successful without your help.  Now a Mechanical Field Service Technician covering Liverpool and Manchester

Phillip (ex Royal Air Force Electronics Engineer)

I have nothing but high praise for Demob Job and in particular, Joanne Foster, who is both professional, helpful, and friendly.  She explained the process, the role, and assured me I had the skills required, which is not easy when you are going through the redundancy process.  I felt I was in safe hands and never had any issues or doubts. Joanne kept in touch regularly to see how I was doing, which I considered a nice touch.  I would recommend Demob Job as a recruitment agency to anyone and everyone.  Phillip is now an IT Support Engineer in Tyne and Wear)

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.

Simon (Scots Guards)

Having applied for a role, I was contacted by Joanne, from Demob Job, very quickly.  She took my details whilst asking pertinent questions that allowed her to judge my suitability for the role in a very quick and professional manner.  Her communication with me throughout the process was faultless, and her openness to solving any issues was second to none.  Joanne made what could potentially have been a fraught process extremely simple.  I have no hesitation in recommending both Joanne and Demob Job to any veteran seeking a new position; you will not be disappointed.  Simon is now a Contract Manager in Dorset).

Another RAF Aircraft Technician secures new job as an Engineer Surveyor: Demob Job

"I am thrilled to share my experience interacting with Kelly Chandler, a truly exceptional recruitment consultant. As an ex-RAF Aircraft Technician transitioning into the civilian workforce, I was initially apprehensive about finding a role that suited my skills and experience. However, Kelly's professional yet personal approach put me at ease from our very first interaction.  Kelly took the time to understand my unique background and aspirations, ensuring she matched me with opportunities that aligned with my experience and goals. Her knowledge of the industry and genuine interest in my career progression made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets Kelly apart is her ability to connect on a personal level while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. She was always available to answer my questions and provided invaluable advice throughout the recruitment process.  Thanks to Kelly, I am now happily employed as an engineering surveyor, in a position that perfectly fits my skills and ambitions. I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough for anyone seeking a dedicated, empathetic, and highly skilled recruitment agent. She not only finds you a job but also ensures it is the right fit for your career journey." – Former RAF Mechanical Aircraft Technician, now an Engineer Surveyor.
