Who are Demob Job?

Demob Job was established in 2005 by our Managing Director Adrian Cheesman after he completed a successful full career in The Royal Corps of Signals.

His vision was to build an ethical and professional recruitment business which would champion the employability of personnel who have previously served in our Armed Forces; Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force.

Since those early days we have continued to grow and now have a focused team of consultants delivering permanent recruitment services to clients all over the UK and overseas.

Our future looks bright as we continue to prosper through planned growth.

Candidate Testimonials

Luke (ex-Royal Signals Communications Systems Engineer)

Joanne approached me upon finding my CV online, she was very friendly and extremely enthusiastic about the role she matched to me.

Graeme (Royal Signals Project Manager)

I recently got in touch with Emma at Demob Job regarding a role I was interested in, consequently, Emma then got in touch, and we discussed the role in more detail. My CV was then sent over to the company and I was invited for an interview.  All the way through their process I was updated every step of the way by Emma and was then offered the job. I have really enjoyed working with Emma and cannot thank her enough for supporting me and keeping me updated every step of the way, it makes a huge difference. Thanks again for helping me secure my new job, I would recommend Emma and Demob Job without hesitation to anyone looking for help.  Graeme is now a Defence Customer Support Manager.

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

From REME Aircraft Engineer to Engineer Surveyor: Expert Support Every Step of the Way

"Kelly reached out to me about a role she was working on helping me through the application process. She talked me through the kind of technical questions I could expect in the interview, which made a big difference going in prepared. She also chased things up with the company keeping me posted on where things stood, so I always knew what was happening rather than being left guessing. From first contact to actually starting the job was about 6 weeks, which felt like a genuinely quick and straightforward process. Would highly recommend."  Zav previously served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) as an Aircraft Engineer, now employed as an Engineer Surveyor.

Anthony (Royal Air Force Engineering Manager)

“Having uploaded my CV to various sites (LinkedIn, CV-Library etc) I started to receive calls from numerous recruitment agents. I quickly discovered many of these agents were merely utilising algorithms to match keywords with job specs. I found myself asking some if they’d actually read my CV as the roles being suggested where miles away from my skill set!   Joanne at Demob job couldn’t have been further away from this in her approach. Warm and friendly from the outset with a genuine interest in my experience and intended career direction. By the end of the first call, it was evident time had been invested to match me with the role on offer. Her continued support throughout the whole interview process was most welcome and soon alleviated any unease felt towards my first interview in over 30 years. I’m pleased to say that despite my initial nerves the outcome was successful. Contact details for Demob Job should be included in all career transition workshops, they provide a service that can only be described as superb.” Anthony is now employed as an Engineering Auditor.

From Royal Navy to CHP Field Engineer: How Demob Job Helped Me Find the Right Fit

“After leaving the Navy I went home to Cornwall to seek employment which ended up being sparse in the engineering world. After a calculated move to Lancashire I was messaged by Joanne to discuss one of my applications for an engineering technician role with an energy company. Joanne kept contact with me throughout the whole four weeks to obtain my details and provide valuable information, motivation and assurance. I am happy to say that after a phone call interview and a formal on-site interview I was offered the position. Joanne has worked tirelessly providing me with the job details, company websites and ensuring I was comfortable with each step of the process.” Chris served in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and is now a CHP Field Engineer in the North West.

Roger (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

After being made redundant from my previous employer due to being furloughed for over 3 months, I was contacted by Joanne Foster at Demob Job, and was quickly offered the chance of an interview.  Within 48 hours of being contacted, I attended an interview and I was offered employment.  I was really impressed with the help and information that was available to me.  Joanne even followed up after my employment was finalised and made sure I was ready to start my new job the following week.  I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone leaving their military career.  Roger is now employed as a Service Repair Technician in Warwickshire.
