Candidate Testimonials
Mark (ex REME Avionics Technician)
I phoned Demob Job to enquire about a job I had seen advertised which closely matched my skill set. I was put in touch with Joanne at Demob Job who explained the vacancy in detail and discussed my background and expectations. This lead to me being introduced to the company which resulted in an interview being arranged very quickly. The interview was a three-step process, one interview by phone, and two further interviews face to face. Joanne kept in constant touch with myself and the employer making sure that I knew what to expect and that I was fully prepared for each interview. Without Joanne`s help, support, and encouragement, it would have been extremely unlikely that I would have got the job. Even after the job offer Demob Job still contacted me to ensure that I was completely happy. I found everybody who I dealt with at Demob Job, especially Joanne, extremely helpful and polite. Field Service Engineer, North West
Karl (ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer Submariner)
‘After 23 years in the armed forces you learn to do a lot of things, unfortunately, none of them is how to be a civvy and look for a job. I began looking for work in the field of engineering and a friend of mine recommended Demob Job, I’m glad that I did. Joanne was very quick to respond to my internet inquiry and keen to give as much information as possible on the job in hand. When accepted for an interview Joanne made sure I was as prepared as possible with notes from other applicants and any information she thought was useful. When she was away, she made sure another member of the team was briefed on my situation so they would be able to help. Throughout the whole process, you could really tell Joanne was working hard on your behalf. I secured employment and began my new career two weeks ago and I’m very grateful to Joanne and the Demob team for their efforts.’ Karl is now employed in the heavy industrial engineering sector.
Carl (ex British Army Royal Engineers)
I applied for a position that I found advertised with Demob Job early one morning as the location suited and the job spec was very much within my skill set. I very quickly received a call from Joanne at Demob Job to explain the vacancy in detail and to discuss my background and expectations. This lead to me being introduced to the company which resulted in an interview being arranged very quickly. Prior to the interview, Joanne gave me some very good advice and pointers. The interview went very well and I was offered the position. Even after the job offer Demob Job still contacted me to ensure that I was completely happy. I found everybody who I dealt with at Demob Job, especially Joanne, extremely helpful and polite. Logistics Manager, Hampshire
Dean (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)
Demob Job and especially Joanne Foster were exceptional in finding me a new role. Persistently I had been turned down for a role at the final stage as I was apparently too good, only to be refused a position above this (same company different site) as I did not have experience. Joanne consulted with the employer and explained my case which thankfully led to interviews and, I am glad to say, an offer of employment which I have accepted. I can honestly say if it were not for the hard work and dedication of Joanne and the Demob Job team, I would not have secured this new job. I would highly recommend them to all service leavers! Dean is now employed as an Engineering Shift Leader in Castle Donnington, Derbyshire.
Chris (ex Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers)
Emma contacted me after I applied for a Field Service Engineer position. Within days Emma came back to me, spoke to me about the vacancy and then helped me tweak my CV specifically for the role. Emma helped me with every step of the process happy to use several methods of contact as I was difficult to reach due to my work commitments. She was patient and understanding. Thanks to Emma, within 5 weeks I had started a new job. In addition, my new boss has since alluded that this was his first-time using Demob Job and he was so pleased how it had worked out. Both my new boss and I would highly recommend Demob Job to anybody who is looking for a new career after their military career. Double thumbs-up for Demob Job! Now a Field Service Engineer in West Yorkshire
Another RAF Aircraft Technician secures new job as an Engineer Surveyor: Demob Job
"I am thrilled to share my experience interacting with Kelly Chandler, a truly exceptional recruitment consultant. As an ex-RAF Aircraft Technician transitioning into the civilian workforce, I was initially apprehensive about finding a role that suited my skills and experience. However, Kelly's professional yet personal approach put me at ease from our very first interaction. Kelly took the time to understand my unique background and aspirations, ensuring she matched me with opportunities that aligned with my experience and goals. Her knowledge of the industry and genuine interest in my career progression made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets Kelly apart is her ability to connect on a personal level while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. She was always available to answer my questions and provided invaluable advice throughout the recruitment process. Thanks to Kelly, I am now happily employed as an engineering surveyor, in a position that perfectly fits my skills and ambitions. I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough for anyone seeking a dedicated, empathetic, and highly skilled recruitment agent. She not only finds you a job but also ensures it is the right fit for your career journey." – Former RAF Mechanical Aircraft Technician, now an Engineer Surveyor.
