Who are Demob Job?

Candidate Testimonials
Mark (ex-Royal Signals Radio Technician)
I saw a position advertised on the Demob Job website that caught my interest and seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I zapped a copy of my C.V with a covering letter over to Joanne at and she called me back within an hour. Joanne said that she thought my skills set matched most of those required by the prospective employer. Anyway, to cut a short story short, Joanne managed to get me an interview within a couple of days and the rest is history. My experience with Demob Job has been extremely positive all the way through; very polite, very courteous and very discreet. Unlike other agencies where you get passed around from one person to another, the whole process was managed by one person. Joanne kept in constant contact to make sure that things were on track. I would thoroughly recommend Demob Job recruitment agency to all ex-military. They do a great job! Thanks, Joanne, I start my new job on Monday.

Harun (ex Royal Signals – Communications Systems Engineer)
I applied for a technical role in Northern Ireland which closely matched my profile and I received a prompt call from Joanne at Demob Job to discuss my current situation and to organise an interview with a potential employer. She was so understanding of the daunting prospect of leaving the military and from the get-go, she was reassuring me that my skills and experience are attractive in the commercial sector. Joanne kept me in the loop and made sure I was never left wondering where I was in the application process. I don’t think I could have found such a good role that pays well and where I am able to utilise my skills from the military without her help. I fully recommend Joanne Foster and Demob Job to anyone wanting to resettle from their military in the future. Now employed as a Field Support Technician in Northern Ireland
Alex (ex Royal Navy – Leading Air Engineering Technician)
Emma Saxton was great in finding me work after I had put my notice in with the Royal Navy. After an uncertain time, I was beginning to worry about finding civilian employment, but this changed when I contacted Demob Job. After speaking with Emma, I felt more confident and positive about my job search. Emma found me a job with a leading multinational industrial engineering company with terms and conditions which far surpassed any expectation I had with leaving the Armed Forces, I was thrilled. I would encourage anybody leaving their military career to contact Demob Job. Alex is now a Field Service Engineer in Cumbria.
Colin (Ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
I saw a job advertised through Demob Job and thought ‘this is me’ and I applied. Joanne was very quickly on the case. I found her to be very friendly, helpful and very professional. She helped me through the application and interview process with advice and guidance and I was lucky enough to get the job. I am truly very grateful to Joanne and the fantastic Demob Job team and would absolutely recommend Joanne and Demob-Job. Brilliant! Thank you all, Colin.

Simon was a Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer
“Demob Job have been outstanding. From initial contact from Kelly, right through to myself being offered the job and even after that step, Kelly has been a conduit between myself and the hiring manager. Always keeping me up to speed in the interview process and providing feedback from the interviewers. Answering any of my questions or finding the information from the hiring manager. Nothing was difficult. This whole process has been a joy!” Simon was a Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer and is now a Field Service Engineer in Wiltshire.
Paul (Ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
“Leaving the Armed Forces is a huge step for any service person looking to transition into civilian life, personally for me it was extra daunting as I joined the Royal Navy straight from school and stayed to complete a 24-year career. Job hunting proved difficult with many employers not taking the time to reply to my applications. I then applied for a position I found on the CTP website, immediately Joanne Foster was in touch to explain the role and requirements in more depth, within minutes I had experienced the personal and professional service Demob Job offer. Joanne helped me every step of the way offering advice, feedback, and an understanding I do not think would be found at any other recruitment company. I would urge anyone leaving the Armed Forces to use the experience and professionalism Demob Job have at their disposal. Thanks to Joanne I have secured a job with a prestigious North East company.” Paul is now employed as a Senior Marine Engineering Manager in Tyne and Wear.
Sean (ex Royal Navy – Aircraft Engineering Technician)
I recently left the Royal Navy after 5 years’ service and I was struggling to find a job that suited my skillset. Joanne contacted me about a vacancy that she thought would match up with my previous military role. She was with me every step of the way always willing to advise me and she was a great liaison between the company and myself. With Joanne's help, I secured a job in an industry that will only expand in the future. I’d like to thank Joanne and the Demob Job team for helping me on my journey to a new career. Now a Field Service Engineer covering the North East
