Candidate Testimonials
Dave (Ex Royal Engineers)
“I saw a post on LinkedIn about Demob Job and then signed up to their site. I continued to monitor for updates, looking for interesting engineering roles in my area. Once a role grabbed my attention I applied through their site and not long after received a call from Adrian Cheesman. He talked through my experience, expectations, the employer and the realities of the role. I have since received an offer of employment and would like to express my sincere thanks to Adrian and Joanne Foster at Demob for their help, support and guidance throughout this process. I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone leaving or thinking of leaving the military with an Engineering/Technical background as a route to employment!”. Dave is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in West Yorkshire.

“I had the pleasure of working with Joanne Foster during my recent job search, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support. From start to finish, she was communicative, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Her guidance and encouragement made the process smooth and stress-free, and I’m thrilled to have secured a new role with her help. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a dedicated and supportive recruitment professional”. Jamie served close to 10 years in the Royal Navy as a qualified Marine Engineer.

Noel (ex REME Avionic Technician)
Just before I was made redundant I received a phone call from Emma at Demob Job having previously registered on their web site. She asked if I would be interested in applying for a Field Service Manager position. I was sceptical at first but she convinced me to make an application. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful at the interview but gained some valuable feedback which suggested that I may be more suited to a hands-on role as a Field Service Technician. This led to a further interview and, I am glad to say, a job offer. If I had not let Emma convince me to attend the initial interview I would probably never have even tried for the second position. I would have no hesitation to recommend both Emma and Demob Job to my ex-military colleagues. Field Support Technician, Dorset
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

Matthew (ex REME Avionics Technician)
I applied for a Field Service Technician Role through Demob and was promptly contacted by Joanne who after ascertaining my suitability for the role arranged for me to attend an interview.

Overall all I could not recommend Demobjob enough. Field Service Technician, Belfast

A big ‘thank you’ to the Demob Job team, my first phone call with Emma gave me a positive feeling that they would find something for me. Joanne was brilliant in keeping me informed during the process and helped secure a position in a role that I had requested in my initial criteria. Would highly recommend to any ex-military to register!'. Curtis is now employed as an Electrical Engineer in Tyne & Wear.
