The difference between shortlisted and overlooked is often one line you forgot to write — and you'll never know which one it was.
You're too close to your own experience to see it clearly. A module you led, a project you delivered early, a language you speak — these can quietly disappear from your CV because they feel ordinary to you. They aren't ordinary to a recruiter.
Our seasoned writers have reviewed thousands of CVs and know precisely what recruiters pause on — and what makes them move on. They'll catch what you've overlooked and sharpen what you've undersold, with the kind of unusual attention to detail that comes from doing this professionally since 2010.
Since 2010, we've built a robust internal matching system. Your subject, level, and target industry are all factored in before a single word is written.
Your CV goes to a writer with deep knowledge of your discipline — they speak your industry's language and know what recruiters in that field look for.
A final-year undergraduate CV and a postgrad's CV need completely different positioning. Your writer knows which approach your stage demands.
Applying in London or New York? Format, tone, and conventions differ. Your writer is briefed on your target market before they begin.
Our writers haven't just written CVs — they've received feedback from students who went on to be shortlisted. They know what worked in practice.
Every CV is structured to pass Applicant Tracking Systems before it reaches a human. Keywords, formatting, file structure — all handled.
Your details and the fact that you used our service are never shared — a policy we have maintained strictly since 2010.
CVs that get remembered tell a story. Our writers take something you've genuinely done — even something you'd dismiss as minor — and frame it so it lands.
The CVs that stand out don't tell recruiters what you are. They show them what you've done — and let the recruiter draw their own conclusion.
All packages include subject-matched writers, ATS optimisation, 48-hour delivery, and complete confidentiality.
Eye-tracking studies show recruiters spend an average of 7 seconds on a CV before their attention settles on structure, name, current role, and education. If those elements don't signal relevance instantly, the CV is set aside — no matter what else is on it.
Nearly 4 in 10 recruiters will discard a CV immediately upon finding a spelling or formatting error. It signals carelessness before you've had a single conversation. Our writers and editors check everything before delivery.
CVs that get shortlisted use active language ("led", "delivered", "grew") not passive constructions ("was responsible for", "helped with"). They state achievements in numbers — but without reading as boastful. This balance is something experienced writers develop over years and is hard to self-edit accurately.
In the UK, two pages is standard for graduate and early-career applicants. The US résumé convention is one page. Getting this wrong signals inexperience. Your writer handles this automatically based on where you're applying.
Yes. The US résumé and UK CV are quite different — format, length, tone, and what you include or omit all differ. A US résumé is typically one page, avoids personal details, and uses a more achievement-focused structure. Specify your target market when ordering and your writer adapts accordingly. If you're applying to both markets, we can produce both versions.
AI tools generate CVs that read like AI generated CVs — recruiters increasingly recognise the pattern. The same phrasing, structure, generic tone. Our writers bring human judgement: they surface achievements you wouldn't think to mention and write in a voice that is distinctly yours. A CV that reads like a person wrote it will outperform an AI output in any shortlisting pile.
Completely. Your personal details, career information, and the fact that you used our service are never shared with any third party. We have maintained strict confidentiality policies since 2010. Your data is used solely to complete your order.
If you have an existing CV — even rough or incomplete — that's the ideal starting point. If not, share your education, work experience, extracurriculars, and target roles. Your writer will ask follow-up questions if needed. The more context you provide, the stronger the result.
US applications use "Resume" not "CV", drop the personal statement in favour of a brief summary, and present experience with strong action-verb-led bullet points. Section headings, date formats, and the omission of personal details like nationality all differ from UK conventions. Your writer handles all of this automatically.
The Professional and Complete packages include 3 rounds of revisions. You give feedback after receiving your draft and your writer refines it until you're satisfied. In our experience most CVs need only one round of tweaks — but having 3 rounds available means you're never left with something that doesn't feel right.
Absolutely. Postgraduate CVs have different demands — research experience, thesis work, and bridging academic and professional language all need careful handling. We have writers with postgraduate-level experience who understand how to position your background for both academic and private sector roles.
