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

Nathaniel (ex-Royal Engineers)

I found Demob Job to be very helpful in my transition into a civilian engineering role. After a rough pandemic, I was lacking in confidence in my skills and struggled to see where I would fit into a civilian role in my chosen field. Adrian took the time to really listen to my story and understand my goals and set about working to find a good fit. He helped me regain perspective and see what I had to offer.  I was quickly matched to a great role and was subsequently successful at interview with the company director, being offered the role the same day. The whole process was seamless and quick but also considered, relaxed, and with tailored support throughout.  I would highly recommend Demob Job to any veteran or service leaver.  Nathaniel is now a Field Service Engineer in Suffolk.

From Royal Navy Submarine Service to Project Manager: Ryan’s Successful Transition with Demob Job

“Demob Job provided outstanding support from start to finish in helping me secure my new role. I’d like to especially thank Joanne Foster for her excellent communication and attentiveness, which made each stage of the process very smooth. I’m looking forward to starting my new role, and I’d highly recommend Demob Job to other service leavers!  Thank you again for all your support throughout this whole process, I greatly appreciated it.” Ryan served for 5 years as a Weapons Engineer in the Royal Navy Submarine Service and is now a Project Manager.

Rhys (ex-Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

“These guys are a cut above the rest when compared to other recruiters - complete understanding throughout the process which isn’t reciprocal with all other recruiters. I received more support than was needed, to which I’m so grateful and ecstatic with the end result. Demob Job are a great team to work with and I would recommend to any service leaver in transition!”.  Rhys is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in the Bristol area.

Paul (completed a 22-year career in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer)

“I would strongly recommend the team at Demob Job who saw an ideal opportunity for me and supported me through the whole interview selection process up to and including successful employment.  Many thanks to the Demob Job team.”  Paul is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in East Yorkshire.

Rob (ex Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME))

Joanne Foster and the Demob Job team were instrumental in supporting myself and my application in finding a new and fulfilling role, in an industry where my skillset fits and has the opportunity to develop further. Joanne fully supported me from the initial telephone conversation and numerous interviews to my first week in role assuring that the role was a fit for me as well as the company.  Many recruiters disappear once the Job offer has been made, not Demob Job.  The team continues to offer advice and support to ex-service individuals via their website and social media for no-return, this is a company with honest intentions to support ex-forces.  I cannot recommend Demob Job highly enough.  Rob is now employed as a Systems Auditor in Wiltshire.

Chris (ex Royal Air Force – Radar Technician)

Leaving the military is a daunting thought for everyone.  But to leave when a pandemic is in full swing really made me rethink my options.  However, after speaking with Adrian at Demob Job, my mind was at ease. We spoke about what I was looking for with regards to my future.  After only days he found what I can only describe, as a dream job for me. From then on the process was swift. I never felt alone and Adrian was there every step of the way.  A few months ago I was petrified about how I would pay to keep a roof over my head.  Now I’m comfortably in a job I enjoy.  I can’t thank Adrian and Demob Job enough for getting me on the right path to a fulfilling career.  Now a Maintenance Engineer in London

Ian (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

I just want to say a massive thank you to Joanne and the Demob Job team. Having left the Armed Forces after 23-years’ service and not knowing what the process of getting/finding a new job was, Joanne made the process easy and clear from the beginning. I have now started the next chapter in my life and got a second career. Ian is now an Electrical Engineer in Plymouth, Devon.
