A very big thank you to Jean-Claude and Ex Mil Recruitment. They posted a job advertisement on LinkedIn and within days of submitting my CV to him, an interview was secured. Post-interview follow-up was fantastic, providing feedback and an offer of employment. They truly understand military backgrounds and how and where best to place ex-service personnel in our transition into civilian employment.

Having had a woeful experience with various recruitment consultants and companies phishing and farming data from job sites such as CV Library, Indeed, and Total Jobs, it was a delight to deal with Dan and JC at Ex Mil Recruitment. Genuine, honest conversation, with communication throughout the whole process from initial contact, introduction, and right through to placement. I couldn't recommend the team enough; I genuinely recommend Ex Mil whether you're an employer seeking candidates or seeking a new opportunity.

Jean-Claude has been amazing every step of the way. I'm currently two weeks into my new job, a role I never thought was achievable. Jean-Claude gave me the confidence I needed to do it. Highly recommended.

I and many of my contacts have done business with JC and Ex-Mil Recruitment Ltd. Every company's HR should use their services; it is excellent.
