Candidate Testimonials
Charles (ex REME Armourer)
When I first applied for my current position I wasn’t waiting long, Joanne had read my CV and contacted me within 30 minutes and was gathering information pertaining to the job advertised. This professional and friendly attitude along with continuous updates made the whole experience seamless as well as stress-free. Joanne did a wonderful job handling the details between me and my now current employer. I’ve been with a few contracting companies before and this has by far been the easiest I’ve encountered. Instrument Technician, Hertfordshire
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
Liam (Ex Royal Air Force Mechanical Engineer)
“I cannot praise enough the help and support Kelly provided me from Demob Job recruitment agency, she has been absolutely brilliant during my job search and interview process. Utmost professional finding out what my strengths and previous engineering experience was to match me with similar commercial job positions for when I leave my military career. Thank you for motivating and encouraging me while making this process so seamless”. Liam has now secured a new job within a manufacturing environment as a Maintenance Engineer in South Yorkshire.

"Demob Job has been outstanding in helping me secure my new position. Special thanks to Kelly, whose world-class communication ensured I was updated every step of the way. I'm incredibly grateful for all the support I've received from Demob Job and wish the team all the best for the future." – Rob, a former Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer, now working as a Maintenance Engineer.
Samuel (ex Royal Navy Marine Engineering Technician)
After many false promises from other recruitment agencies and losing hope after leaving the military I was recommended to use Demob Job. I was immediately filled with confidence and the feedback was transparent and instant. I have now finally found not only a job but a career that I thoroughly enjoy with plenty of progression and excitement. This is all down to Joanne who is dedicated on a personal and professional level! Thanks again Joanne!! Samuel is now employed as a Mechanical Engineer in Plymouth, Devon.
Dean (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)
Demob Job and especially Joanne Foster were exceptional in finding me a new role. Persistently I had been turned down for a role at the final stage as I was apparently too good, only to be refused a position above this (same company different site) as I did not have experience. Joanne consulted with the employer and explained my case which thankfully led to interviews and, I am glad to say, an offer of employment which I have accepted. I can honestly say if it were not for the hard work and dedication of Joanne and the Demob Job team, I would not have secured this new job. I would highly recommend them to all service leavers! Dean is now employed as an Engineering Shift Leader in Castle Donnington, Derbyshire.
Amanda (ex RAF Intelligence Analyst)
Huge thank you to Adrian at Demob Job for his help and support successfully finding a role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a week of speaking to Adrian, I had had a successful interview for a job that excited me and started work 2 weeks after that. Adrian kept in touch throughout the whole process and unlike some other agencies, seemed to really care about finding me the right role. Now an Instructor in Wiltshire
