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.

The first draft was completed in a timely way. The cv expert then considered the comments I provided, and then delivered the final draft. This Draft 2 was to my satisfaction and I promptly closed the matter. So the process was easy and worthwhile. Thank you. Louise
The CV writer assigned to me was knowledgeable and listened to my input and provided beneficial feedback at each revision stage. I enjoyed the process and felt it was extremely collaborative.
Turned my CV around to make it sound very professional, accurate and clear
It is clear that you have a high experience, but with so much information already given in my previous CV, I consider the price of the service a little high.
But that's all, I am satisfied with the final product.
The feedback was very Insightful and detailed in such a way that is beneficial to the reader.
I was very delighted with the outcome of my CV, cover letter and LinkedIn. Mary N was very patient throughout the process, within 2 weeks my Cv or profile did get the attention I needed. I currently secured a temporary role so looking forward to what the future brings.
I recommend for anyone who wishes to portrait the right skills, achievements to secure a perfect role
I have been followed and guided during the entire process. I have being given good suggestions, and they explained how my CV will be assessed adjusting it to prospective employers' expectations.
Very professional work that provided to me an updated CV with the most relevant experiences made by me over the last 20 years.
Loved the feedback. It was a detailed specific response. It helped me understand how IA filters my applications. Great tips.
A company director helped me with my cv after I had been working for the same company for 23 years, this site gave me help I never even realised. Excellent service
This excerpt speaks volumes about the incompetent, illegal, and reckless operations run by TopCV. (Below excerpt is from an email exchange after almost a month of trying to terminate a failed contract. TopCV avoided my complaints and resisted a full refund until a lawyer and my credit card company were brought in)
TopCV violated the contract agreement by selling a service of an Executive Writer with standing in the top 10 percent of your writers that also is specialized in my industry experience. I have asked repeatedly and received no answer how someone with only intern experience in a police station in South Africa and one year of CV review qualifies as an Executive Writer and an industry expert. A full refund is warranted on these grounds alone but I will continue if you need a further summary of the laundry list of TopCV failures. I paid for expedited delivery and received an unusable product. This "Expert Writer" delivered a CV containing several spelling errors that even Microsoft Word caught. Though for some reason you confused my legitimate complaints about these atrocious spelling errors with grammar. Basic attention to detail would have also caught the several incorrect transcriptions from my initial CV provided. If this is not enough, the "Expert Writer" requested that I add biometric information such as gender, age, civil status, nationality, and place of birth. It is illegal at the U.S. Federal level to make hiring decisions on such material. These are only a few of the many failures that I have repeatedly laid out to TopCV since I raised these issues on 26 February 2021.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting any feedback, thought it was just some advertising. But got a reply a very next day with very valuable suggestions how to improve my CV.
Thank you again team TopCV
Very satisfied, thanks for the recommendations, will follow up with them.
LinkedIn was almost CV components. I think it was not necessary to purchase
CV and a cover letter delivered on time and revision include.
Quick, accurate and cooperative. Pleased with final result and looking forward to disseminating it around the world.
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
