the armed forces, they will also gain access to a wealth of fantastic talent that will stand their

business in good stead for many years to come."

and the values we hold. As a result the calibre of candidate recruited by ForceSelect into the

business has been superb."

provided. I always know that my requirements will be met on time and on brief.“

Mentoring

Training

– ForceSelect recognised that re-training can and should be undertaken prior to leaving the Armed Forces to ease the transition period for service leavers

– We arrange regular seminars before and during resettlement which provide opportunities for clients and candidates to network and explore opportunities

training

Fulfilling Opportunity

– ForceSelect aims to source and fill the best and most appropriate career opportunities within

UK businesses

– The breadth of employment opportunities at all levels ensures that service leavers do not suffer

as a result of the misconception that security roles are the only option when they leave the

forces

ForceSelect helps to ensure that their broad range of transferable skills is not wasted in civilian

employment

women and understand their roles, training and skills
