How it works

After Duty Jobs is a recruitment service, not a job board. Employers and agencies pay us — candidates never do.

1

We translate your skills

Our matching maps ranks and roles to the civilian competencies employers pay for.

2

One application covers it

Upload your CV once. Someone who knows the sector comes back within a working day — free for candidates, always.

3

We back you into the role

We put your application in front of the employer with your service record framed the way hiring managers understand.

From the founder

Built by someone who made the jump

I spent seven years in the police — starting on the beat, then moving into detective work. It taught me to stay calm under pressure, dig into complex problems, and find what actually matters. Nobody told me those skills would travel. They do.

During the pandemic I stumbled into tech and havent stopped since. These days I live in Melbourne, Australia. The hardest part of leaving wasn't learning the new job. It was working out how to explain what six years of service is worth to a civilian employer.

That's why After Duty Jobs exists. Every job here is translated into the skills your service actually gave you — so you don't have to make that case alone.
