Candidate Testimonials

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.

Justin (ex-Royal Air Force Mechanical Aircraft Technician)

I left the RAF and began the laborious and slightly soul destroying task of searching for a job appropriate to my skill set. I was in contact with an old colleague who linked me to the advertisement posted on Demob Job by Joanne. I carefully read the criteria requested and contacted Joanne who promptly arranged a chat with me via telephone the next day.  Joanne advised me of what the job entailed and after a brief informal Q&A, proposed to put me forward for the role of Field Service Engineer at a Marine company. I was thrilled to hear back that the company were interested in speaking to me via web interview initially and I was coached on some salient points to assist me with techniques and common questions. That interview was completed and Joanne kept in touch between myself and the company for feedback. I was then contacted back by Kim as Joanne had a holiday but I was made aware of this well in advance and Kim became my contact. I was delighted to hear that I was invited to the company HQ on Friday for a face to face interview after being shortlisted. I was delighted to be contacted by Kim to give me the good news that I had been offered the job. Joanne and Kim have been amazing throughout and I cannot thank them enough. I would describe Joanne and Kim as dynamic, highly professional, very supportive and confidence inspiring. I would recommend Demob Job to any service leaver be it imminent or out of the services for some time. Field Service Engineer, Durham

Thomas (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)

Having gone through a long and difficult process Joanne was with me every step of the way and was excellent in guiding me through the many obstacles. Joanne showed excellent knowledge in the field I was seeking employment in and was crucial in my preparation for the interviews for the role. Joanne was very attentive and always on the other end of the phone to help when I had questions.  Could not recommend demob job and Joanne enough and if I ever look to seek different employment in the future, they will be my first contact.  Thomas is now a Field Service Engineer in Bristol.

Phillip (ex Royal Air Force Electronics Engineer)

I have nothing but high praise for Demob Job and in particular, Joanne Foster, who is both professional, helpful, and friendly.  She explained the process, the role, and assured me I had the skills required, which is not easy when you are going through the redundancy process.  I felt I was in safe hands and never had any issues or doubts. Joanne kept in touch regularly to see how I was doing, which I considered a nice touch.  I would recommend Demob Job as a recruitment agency to anyone and everyone.  Phillip is now an IT Support Engineer in Tyne and Wear)

Stephen (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)

‘Jack was a fantastic support going through the application process for the job. I had applied for another position through Demob Job but Jack identified a further role that he believed was a better fit. When it came to interview time his support increased dramatically, always keeping in touch with the employer and myself continuously updating us on the next stage. After the interview Jack’s hard work continued by communicating with both parties making sure each was happy. Jack put in maximum effort during the entire process, and after I had been successful his follow-up care was second to none.  Not only a total professional but an absolute top guy’. Steve now works as a Maintenance Engineer in Scotland.

Daniel (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)

Demob Job has been fantastic in helping me find a job in my final months of employment with the Royal Air Force.  Joanne Foster was excellent from my application to confirming my new role as a Commissioning Engineer.  Joanne helped me to prepare for my interview, gave me tips and advice along with a comprehensive brief on the company.  Ultimately Joanne kept in regular contact to ensure my transition was as smooth as possible. I would recommend Joanne and Demob Job for anyone who is due to leave the military and is seeking new employment.  Daniel is now a Commissioning Engineer based in West Midlands.

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
