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.

I got exceptional results and really helpful and professional feedback. 10/10
TopCV looks very promising at first glance. I got the most elementary draft back and my cover letter looks as if the CV writer, Derek L, used ChatGPT. Absolutely dismal. I am a senior legal advisor and could not use any of it. You will never get the full details of who you are working with and their Ts and Cs refer to their no refund policy which cannot be legal. Stay away. I add a screenshot of an extract of what they have given me - my original wasn't great but it didn't look like this. Judge for yourself
HORIBBLE! NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALLL! WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! They are not inline with your qualification or experience and definetly no nothing about building resumes!
The CV had many details of the recent experience due to strong responsibilities I had. I will shorten the details as you advised so as to be short and precise. I will also add something on negotiation skills.
Not worth the money at all. I ended up re-writing the whole cv on my own.
I sent them my old cv, they sent me the first draft after they made some paraphrasing, mixing up the bullet points (for example the experience section was written half bullet points/half paragraph containing the bullet points of my original cv).
The design of the cv wasn't special at all and too basic.
After I sent the first draft with my edits (basically the whole cv re-written by me) the sent me the second draft with changes only made to the fonts of some sentences!
I ended up redoing the whole cv on my own and with another service provider.
Anyway, it is expensive and the money I paid them was a complete waste.
I recommend using Canva.com for nice CV templates.
Terrible experience working with TopCV.
They did minimal improvements to my CV, basically only replacing a few words that I had already written with synonyms and changing the layout (MAKING IT WORSE if you can believe that).
I wasted my time and money, my CV is not any better than it was before. In fact it's now a giant piece of $#*!, thanks to this scam.
DO NOT DO IT
The reason it's not 5/5 because time will tell if I get an interview from the CV or not.
But very fast & professional work from Hunter.
Two months after the services were provided, I was billed an additional $107.00. I have contacted the company and they have not responded nor have they provided any clear way of getting customer support online.
Abel, was quick to answer any questions and provided excellent service throughout.
They were very professional, efficient, and exceeded my expectations
Professional approach, the best in their field, knowledge of the market, a systematic approach
A back-ground summary was enough as input for drafting a professionally written CV. Only little changes/corrections were needed.
I was impressed by the writer's responsiveness and her ability to revise my CV in such a way that it plugged in perfectly to the ATS systems used by HR. I tested this and discovered that all my information had been perfectly filled in from my CV, as to opposed to my old CV where I landed up inputting all the information from the beginning.
Now I am putting to the test my CV being more visible to job postings. Fingers crossed.
Compelled me to rethink about my CV and alter it. I understand where my CV is lacking and what I should do to improve it.
The service was carried out very efficiently, quickly and the result is excellent. Contact with the service provider was very easy. Fully recommend.
The first draft arrived two days late than the agreed date.
The first draft was totally out of scope.
The company refused to issue a refund.
I didn't expect such a deep level of review. The reviewer described all aspects of my CV and even input it into an ATS (Applicant Tracking System), which opened my eyes to the approach of CV writing.
I would like thanks TopCV for their valuable suggestions and feedback regarding my CV, I followed their instructions and achieved better outcomes in my potential careers.
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
