What is The List / What does it do?
You need to register first and once approved your log-in details will be sent to you within 24 hours.
We assess that you will derive some 25% of the full value of The List by remaining as a Basic Registrant; apart from the financial benefit of becoming a Member upon first joining you are immediately able to benefit from full job-seeking and business networking. You should view full membership as an investment in your career for the remainder of your employed life; it represents the opportunity for you to remain within an extraordinarily powerful network in the business community. And what is more you are ideally placed to help those who are coming along behind you. It also allows you to be both employed and job browsing in the future.
Success of The List depends on the support of both the ex-Service community and supportive employers (and recruiters). The number of Members and volume of employer activity is what will make The List a lasting success; you can do your bit by joining as a Member for life thus giving something back to those who have either helped you and/or are destined to follow you.
The normal procedure is as follows: you upload the vacancy; if we don t have a financial agreement with us we will ask you to agree (a return e-mail is sufficient) to be invoiced for the job posting; we then authorise the vacancy and invoice you. If your company operates a Purchase Order system you should either provide a PO number or attach the PO to the acceptance e-mail.
Not at present; the intent is that the requirement will be encapsulated on a re-launched and more powerful on-line functionality. We recognise the previous value in the book and will consider producing it again in the future; the scope and content will be driven by the future functionality of the website and database.
Bespoke search, including out to non-List Members, to identify a long-list of suitable and willing applicants.

Yes very much so. Mike Nicholson, who set up The List 15 years ago, remains as the host and organiser of the London Liquid List. Iain Campbell, who set up and ran an executive search division of PICD Ltd, when he left the Army 6 years ago, is the MD of the The List. Iain combines 30+ years of Service experience with a wealth of know-how in the recruitment world. The List is highly networked to a vast number of supportive employers, professional intermediaries, contacts and former Service people; the team is widely supported by a group of like-minded and experienced associates and carefully selected employees who have an intuitive grasp and understanding of The List and its Members.
1. Through their account a Member declares him/herself to be either a job-seeker or in-business. Depending on their membership category and the individuals circumstances at the time he/she can adjust their account settings to render him/herself visible to employers, to business and job-seeker networking, to search consultants or elect to be passive.
2. The principle vehicle for driving job-seeking activity is the job board; depending on their account settings individuals are e-mail alerted to job postings and thus may apply. In addition, and in support of the job board, a List consultant may, using networking and search techniques approach a registered user who might be suited to a particular position. Furthermore, all Members are potentially visible to research being conducted by a List consultant on behalf of a client.
3. The principle vehicle and USP of The List for networking activity is either through the individual Member accessing the database to find those Members he/or she wishes to contact and/or by attending the monthly Liquid List meetings.
- Life or Annual Member: affording job-seeking and business networking membership and access to all services for the remainder of the individuals employed life: A one-time lifetime subscription of £50 (+ VAT) or £30 (+ VAT) for annual membership.
- Fellowship: a special category for those who are prepared to give freely of their advice and time to support those leaving the Services and the ex-Service community. Individuals may indicate a willingness to support The List. People are personally invited to join this category by the MD of The List: they pay no fees.
The unique selling point lies in the fact that the ex-service community consists of a group of people who are prepared to continue to support one another and take advantage of the Service ethos and willingness to engage in a dialogue with other like-minded people. Furthermore, Members all have recognisable and generic attitudes and behaviours; these are the same generic foundations that make the UK Armed Forces world-renowned and highly regarded. Upon that foundation is built a vast and varied array of skills, competencies, technical and trade qualifications along with extensive leadership and management experience at all levels. This is recognised, appreciated and needed by business. We also welcome a contribution from individuals who share this vision but not might not necessarily have served in the UK Armed Services; a special Fellowship category of membership has been created for them. Through this 'tribal' network The List reaches out to over a million people in the UK workplace.
>An invited individual - who need not have served in the UK Armed Forces - who in the opinion of the Board of Directors, has the potential to or can immediately bring direct and tangible benefits to the ex-service community.
Corporate Membership is available to businesses on a case by case basis.
The cornerstone to The List is a database of many thousands of former members of the UK Armed Services which then enables extensive recruitment and networking opportunities serving the direct needs of the job-seeker, the in-business member and employers in every sector of the UK economy. It affords members the opportunity for face-to-face business development and job-seeking networking. The unique offerings to employers, recruiters and head-hunters make it highly attractive and competitive in the business market place.
The List offers Members, for a small fee, an entry in the Business Directory to enable them to promote their business proactively to other Members.
In addition The List is very happy to promote specific opportunities, products and services to other Members. This can be done by mailshot or by notices on the website. This service is not designed for the mass marketing of domestic or used goods but rather the promotion of business opportunities and services as and when they occur. Examples are: the selling and acquisition of businesses; independent consultants offering their services; part-time opportunities or requirements; offers of/requirement for urgent and unforeseen assistance in running a business; the promotion of goods and services which might appeal to all Members as individuals; promotion of charitable events and causes; offers of/requirement for assistance and help to those recuperating from trauma and illness.
