Who are Demob Job?

Candidate Testimonials
Chris (Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)
“After uploading my CV to most of the general websites, within days, I was fortunate to receive a phone call from Joanne Foster at Demob Job informing me that she had found my CV online and wondered if I was in fact interested in a future role that she had matched my transferable skills against. From the start, Joanne was open and forthcoming with all the relevant information pertaining to the job role and the background on the company. Sure enough, I was put forward for this particular role and within days had secured a first stage interview. Fortunate to be successful and be welcomed back to a second stage interview by the company, Joanne was in close contact with the company and made arrangements for myself to attend and further discussed with me the potential next stages. This was all stress free, relaxed and handled by the professionalism of Joanne at every stage and waypoint. I am sure that if not for Joanne and Demob Job, that my CV may have fell by the side of the road and not been so successful. This came at a time when my previous role was contractually coming to an end and was flawless in transition. Highly professional, informative, and friendly throughout the process and would highly recommend Joanne and the team at Demob Job to anyone who is looking to progress their own career.” Chris is now employed as an Auditor in Glasgow.
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
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.
Over 19 Years in the Royal Navy to Project Manager: Marc’s Career Change with Demob Job
"Absolutely fantastic service from Demob Job, and in particular Joanne, who handled my application. The service was very professional and concise. I had regular updates during the process, and Joanne was very understanding when I wasn’t feeling well and had to reschedule my interview. Joanne got a new interview organised on the same day, and even after getting accepted for the job, Joanne has stayed in touch to make sure my start goes smoothly. I would thoroughly recommend Demob Job for all ex-forces personnel looking for a new job." Marc served for over 19 years in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and Weapons Engineer. He is now employed as a Project Manager.
Matthew (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)
This is the first time I have used Demob Job and I must say I'm very impressed. Joanne was very efficient in arranging an interview, highlighting my key skills and attributes to the employer. I successfully managed to capture the role I applied for and I look forward to my new career path. I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone who is leaving the Armed Forces and is looking for a new and exciting role. Matthew is now employed as a Service Engineer within the Energy Sector.
Simon was a Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer
“Demob Job have been outstanding. From initial contact from Kelly, right through to myself being offered the job and even after that step, Kelly has been a conduit between myself and the hiring manager. Always keeping me up to speed in the interview process and providing feedback from the interviewers. Answering any of my questions or finding the information from the hiring manager. Nothing was difficult. This whole process has been a joy!” Simon was a Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer and is now a Field Service Engineer in Wiltshire.

Sound advice matched with prompt communication helped this process become stress-free and more personal. The end result was a job offer and a position I can see myself fulfilling for a long time with great career progression and opportunities. Stuart is now a Construction Project Engineer in Somerset.
