TopCV writes and analyzes more CVs and LinkedIn profiles than any other service through their network of experienced writers.
The company has garnered mixed feedback regarding its CV writing services. Positive aspects include effective communication from some writers, professional insights, and a few customers reporting successful job placements after using the service. However, significant concerns revolve around the quality of the final products, with many customers feeling that the CVs were poorly tailored, often generated by AI, and lacking in industry-specific detail. Delays in service delivery and inadequate customer support further exacerbate these issues, leading to a perception of the company as unreliable. Overall, while some clients had satisfactory experiences, a notable number expressed disappointment, suggesting a need for improved service consistency.

Excellence service from a kind and very experienced writer. Good collaboration and continuous feedback om my comments
Excellent service delivered a great cv and really made it stand out from the crowd
The reviewers were exceptionally helpful, detail oriented and quick with the deliverables!
I believe after the review my CV and linkedin page had been significantly improved
Love my new CV. I realised that choice words matter when writing CV and Harrison S worded my CV brilliantly. It is short precise and contain all essential information. Would recommend topCV to anyone in need of selling themselves to employers.
Very satisfied as my main targets for a new professional CV were fully achieved:
1. Shorten the CV without impacting the essential information
2. Highlighting main achievements
3. The use of A more impacting language without exaggerating skills
All of the above being achieved.
Best regards
Martin was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the process so easy.
Submitted my cv for a review had the appraisal back!
Re read my cv looked at the options for payments thought it was expensive waited for a discount code resubmitted my cv 24 hours later! WOW.
Never needed any additional information bang on first time, wish I had done it earlier. Response to applications has tripled in 4 days. Well worth the money.
I paid for a CV and covering letter.
They sent back a CV which had awful grammar, syntax and even spelling. Inserted the word "spearheaded" several times!?!
I complained and they responded a few days later. They said it was a draft.
Second draft just as bad.
I asked for a refund. As the job deadline I needed to apply for had passed.
I've spent the last month swapping emails as they refuse a refund and also refuse to answer other basic questions like how I complain etc.
Avoid at all costs.
I'm really satisfied with the outcome of my CV and cover letter which was done by Top CV. The service was professional and helpful
From the outset very supportive and quick turnaround. Was very helpful answering all my queries too as nervous my cv would not stand out from the crowd and was out at ease every time.
Just hope my cv and linked in profile now is seen and I at least get some interest…. Time will tell!
Needed a CV and gave this 0 expectations. Overall, the employee who worked with me (Alex) was really nice and answered all of my questions in no time. CV looked great and I'm somewhat satisfied. Really happy about the cover letter. Would recommend it.
It was a wonderful and amazing experience. I really enjoyed my background description for the first time! I had an outstanding and committed service with a new CV, CL, and Linkedin profile. I could have a new perspective of my career/background and take the next step for a new journey.
1- The Writer was very cooperative and supportive, however, his strength is in doing common project management resumé and not technical resumé based on first and second drafts.
2- It was a prompt action which is well appreciated, efforts are over-priced, especially that the virtual promise of getting a job within 60 days is not valid and for advertisement purpose only.
3- In some sites, the auto-fill didn't work properly.
4- Somes spelling mistakes were detected by other sites such as Google or Client portals
5- I used to get more calls on my old CV.
6- Overpriced compared to other writing entities.
Very good service, from an experienced CV writer. Prompt and supportive.
Process was efficient and loved the format of the cv.
There were some things I did ask the tutor but never got a response however overall very satisfied
The feedback was comprehensive and professional. Detailed explanation for improving was given.
Appreciate the inputs and summary. Totally agree with the review and started immediately to change the language. It's like when people ask you who you are, often we tend to start talk about what we do for a living, but we are more than our professions. Put the light on that, what makes you stand out out of 250 applicant's? How can they learn to know your 25-30 or 40 years of life and your achievements in two pages?
Their review can help you.
Thanks
Answer: They're a scam - and they'll all rot in hell. I hope our responses here save some other poor souls their hard earned cash. Absolutely appalling service - they're bullies and extortionists at best. A bunch of cheap crooks who cost us our hard earned cash!
Answer: Hi Elena, Great question! Our resume writing process is collaborative between the writer and the client. We use your old resume as a primary source of information, but you will also be able to provide additional details via our questionnaire and in communication with your writer. It's as simple as that! Please let us know if there are any other questions you have. Thanks!
Answer: Don't believe them Tracy! It took them 2 weeks to finally send me something, and it was basically what I had sent them. I complained and they gave my CV to someone else -- with NO rush put on it of course, and 3 weeks later I'm still without my professional CV that is supposed to come with Satisfaction Guaranteed. Only problem is they don't know what that means!
Answer: Easier to ignore an email.
Answer: Hi Phoebe, Great question. In total the process typically takes one to two weeks to get your perfect CV. For more information on our services, please visit: https://www.topcv.co.uk/faq
