Candidate Testimonials
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.

On my way back from one interview she put me forward for the job I have now gladly accepted. Perfect for both location and opportunity to allow me to utilise my skills. Constantly trying to find the best job for me from the start as well as keeping me updated at every step, I would highly recommend Demob Job to any service leaver!”.

From Army Infantry to Stores Assistant: I cannot recommend Demob Job enough
“Right from the beginning Demob Job stood out, this started from reading the online job advert and me contacting them. Everything about the vacancy was just superb telling you everything you needed to know. Within an hour of applying Kelly Chandler from Demob Job was in touch. Kelly puts you at ease and asks all the relevant questions for the employer and also answers all your questions making sure everything is ok. All through the recruitment process Kelly was fantastic, informing and supporting me at every step. On the morning of the interview Kelly called me to make sure I was ok allowing me to ask any last-minute questions. After the interview yet again Kelly was superb. Demob and Kelly were just superb from start to finish making the whole experience pleasant during what is normally a nervous and stressful time. Well done Demob Job, I can't recommend you enough, professional and outstanding all the way!” – Former British Army Infantry, now a Stores Assistant.
