STAND OUT as the strategic leader they’ve been searching for.
We translate your leadership into language executives respect - growth, stability, and competitive edge. Instead of a dry chronology, your CV becomes a strategic narrative: how you’ve steered transformation, protected margins, and strengthened operations. It doesn’t just show where you’ve worked - it proves why your decisions moved the needle. For decision-makers, it reads less like a CV - and more like a results-driven blueprint for success.
Why do 98% of direct applications fail to land the interview?
Today’s executive job market is unrecognisable from five years ago. With global competition, AI screening tools, reduced office networking and fewer advertised roles, traditional CVs simply no longer make the cut. The hiring process now favours leaders who show strategic clarity, brand presence, and proven impact - not just titles and tenure. In addition, most executive CVs rely on outdated formats, generic summaries, and task-based content. They fail to communicate board-level value, commercial outcomes, or leadership influence - causing even the most accomplished professionals to be overlooked. Data driven applicant tracking systems now reject 82% of online executive level applications.

Is your CV opening boardroom doors? Or slamming them shut?
You’ve earned your place at the table - but your CV appears like you’re still waiting for an invitation. It reads like a list of glorified job descriptions - positions held, duties performed, and vague accomplishments dressed in buzzwords. It’s heavy on tasks and light on triumphs. It’s grown longer over time, but not sharper, and instead of highlighting your strategic influence, it buries it in the fine print. Sure, it shows you're experienced - but not exceptional, and it doesn't craft a clear, memorable case for why you are the standout choice. If your career speaks volumes, your CV should echo it - not whisper.

Land the leadership role that matches your vision and value.
Navigating the leap to your next executive role demands more than surface-level support. It calls for a partner fluent in the unspoken rules of senior leadership transitions. Our team operate solely within this space, so we're not guessing at what works - we’re embedded in it on a daily basis. Our insight into high-level hiring signals, leadership benchmarks, and emerging C-suite priorities ensures your next step is not only well-timed, but strategically aligned with where the business world is heading.


Still Guessing & Rehashing Your Old CV? The Delay Could Cost You Thousands.
Every week spent without traction in the executive job market is a week of lost income, lost momentum, and missed opportunities. For most senior leaders, a single week’s salary far exceeds the investment in our services - yet some continue to delay, rewrite, and second-guess their positioning for months on end. Executives are strategic delegators by nature. You don’t manage finance, operations, or risk alone - so why navigate a high-stakes career move without expert support? By partnering with CV People®, you accelerate your job search, sharpen your value proposition, and reduce time-to-placement - often by months. The return on investment? Exponential.

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®.

Which team should I work with?Our Management CV Writing Team specialises in working with professionals across team leader, supervisor, mid-level manager, and project/program management roles. This team understands the importance of showcasing leadership potential, team delivery, and operational impact. The CVs they create are tailored to demonstrate measurable outcomes, upward career momentum, and readiness for greater responsibility - all while aligning your experience with the expectations of hiring managers and internal promotion panels. In contrast, our Executive CV Writing Team exclusively partners with senior business leaders operating at executive, director, and C-suite levels, or senior managers aspiring to this level. Executive CVs require a different strategic approach - focused on boardroom influence, commercial leadership, stakeholder engagement, and high-level decision-making. Executive CVs are crafted to position you not just as a candidate, but as a peer to those sitting at the top table. The outcomes are sharper, more strategically framed, and aligned with executive recruitment processes, board-level scrutiny, and headhunter expectations. If you are unsure of your career level, give our team a call on 0800 058 4056 (option 1). We'll be happy to assist you in choosing the best team to work with for your unique career history and future aspirations.

What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and how do they work?Even at senior management and executive level, your CV must do more than impress - it must first be seen. Today, over 98% of employers and job boards use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to automatically filter applications before they reach a recruiter’s desk. These systems are designed to assess whether your CV aligns with the job’s specific criteria - including key competencies, leadership experience, industry expertise, and qualifications. Recruiters configure these systems at the point of advertising a role, inputting the essential requirements of their ideal candidate. The ATS then uses parsing technology to scan your CV and determine whether you make the shortlist - or get filtered out. According to Indeed data, 76% of CVs we're rejected automatically by their ATS in 2024, never reaching human review. If you’re applying for roles you’re qualified for but receiving little or no response, the issue likely isn’t your leadership capability - it’s your CV’s ability to navigate modern hiring technology. We guarantee your CV will be ATS-optimised for your target roles, ensuring it reaches decision-makers and performs in today's digital hiring environment.
