"When I was made redundant from my job of 8 years I applied for around 50 positions over a period of four months, landing just a single interview.

What's the difference between CV People's premium service and a budget CV service?When engaging a professional CV service there's typically two types of company you'll come across: Budget CV Mills Price Point: £50 - £200 CV Writers: Usually overseas freelance copywriters Volume: Hundreds of generic CVs per week Project Time: 1 - 2 hours Process: Re-write or edit the existing CV. Work from templates. No direct communication with writer or via email. Usually 1 round of revisions Bespoke, Premier CV Writers - (CV People) Price Point: £200 - £500 CV Writers: Directly employed master CV writers & application experts. 100% UK based. Minimum 10 years experience Volume: Work with a maximum of 4 clients per week Project Time: 10 - 12 hours Process: Study of target positions. Critique of existing CV and report compiled. In-depth Strategy consultation call. CV written & design from scratch using only relevant skills, experience and achievements. CV designed & formatted around the written content. Follow up consultations. Unlimited revisions If you are looking for a fast, budget service, a CV mill may be an option for you. However, the likelihood is you're probably best saving your money and writing it yourself using the free advice contained in our blog. These operators typically outsource to non-native English speaking countries where labour is cheap and quality is poor. They don't include consultation calls, and limit revisions, producing templated, rushed CVs, often littered with mistakes and not an accurate reflection of their clients skills, experience and achievements. With competition for jobs at an all time high, a bespoke, professionally written, ATS optimised CV is the only way to guarantee more interviews. This is the level of service you can expect when engaging CV People®.

What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and how do they work?An applicant tracking system is a piece of software that 98% of job boards and individual companies now use to filter out unsuitable applications, saving the recruiter time reviewing unsuitable applications. The ATS is setup by the recruiter when they post their job advert on a job board (Seek, Indeed, etc.) or their own website. The recruiter submits the key requirements for the job, such as specific skills, education, experience, qualifications, etc. The ATS then uses CV parsing software to 'read' your CV and makes a decision as to whether you qualify to have your CV shown to the recruiter - or not. A frightening statistic is that 3/4 CVs are never actually seen by the recruiter and are automatically rejected by ATS software. The average ATS score against targeted positions is an astonishing low 34%, with only 1/17 CVs scoring above 90% for the candidates targeted positions (usually written by a professional CV writing service). If you're making applications that you are qualified for and receiving templated rejection emails or no feedback at all, your CV is likely being rejected by the ATS and not the hiring manager or recruiter. We guarantee to get your CV past the ATS for targeted positions.
-
Can I request revisions? How long will they take?Yes! Unlike budget services we don't limit your revisions. We strive to create the perfect CV for every client, and we don't stop working until that's exactly what you have. Your CV writer will deliver requested revisions by 5pm, the following business day, providing they have had the opportunity to clarify any extra information they require with you.
