Who are Demob Job?

Candidate Testimonials

Clint (ex Royal Air Force Chef)

After recently completing my diploma in plumbing and heating, I had spent many months trying to find the right job opportunity. I had spent 20 years in catering within the RAF and offshore oil and gas, and have been seeking a career change, when Adrian from Demob Job contacted me about an opportunity with a respectable company which included great training and career prospects.  Adrian was excellent in explaining the job role to me, identifying all my transferable skills that would make me a good fit for the role, and after putting me forward, managed to secure an interview for me.  I am sure that had I applied direct to the company I would not have heard back.  After completing the interview, and a small skills test, I managed to secure the role and am awaiting to start the training course.  Cannot recommend Adrian and Demob Job enough. Highly professional in every stage of the process.

Samuel (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineering Technician)

“Not only did Joanne Foster at Demob job secure me a job when I first left the military, she then secured me an even better one when I was looking again. This has enabled me to gain vast experience within the engineering sector to enhance my skill set and confidence to secure my role that I am absolutely delighted to start next week! Really friendly and dedicated team to get ex military guys and girls their dream jobs! Thank you”. Samuel is now an Operations Engineer in the South West.

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.

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.

Andrew (ex Aviation Engineer in the Royal Air Force)

“I contacted Demob Job after seeing a job advert on LinkedIn. Joanne Foster was extremely responsive and arranged a telephone call to discuss the job and check my suitability for the role, an important step in preventing both me and the employer from wasting time. Joanne spent time compiling an accurate and suitable application with me and presented it to the employer on my behalf. Interviews were arranged, taking into consideration my current employment, and regular updates were provided.  This all resulted in a job offer.  A huge thanks to Joanne at Demob job, you’re a huge asset to the service leaver community.”  Andrew is now employed as a  Senior Aviation Engineer in Hertfordshire.

Phil (ex Royal Air Force Stock Controller)

Adrian, thank you so much for contacting me and recommending me for my new position.  You and your company are so professional and friendly to deal, I have no hesitation in recommending your recruitment services to my friends.  I wish you and your team every ongoing success.  Phil is now a Technical Storesperson in Tyne and Wear.

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.
