TopCV Reviews Summary
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.

Working with senior CV writer, yet the experience is as if they simply put some of my key-words into a ready made template full of superlatives. Very impersonal and hard to read. I feel no connection with the content and have seen few signs that they actually listen to my feedback. You cannot get your money back, hence you are forced to spend ton's of time trying to get heard, with little/no improvement. Even typos in revised version.
When I submitted my CV for a review to Top Cv I did not think I would receive such an exhausting report.
Sara, who analysed my CV was brilliant in giving me a realistic feedback and very smart suggestions for improving it.
Surprising for a free service|
I was extremely happy with the process. Nate provided a revamped CV the same day which was very well constructed. The cover letter and Linkedin profile followed the next day and were of equal quality.
A very happy experience.
Very efficient work with great results. The suggestions on the CV fitted.
Precise and accurate account outlined better than ever before. Unnecessary long statements omitted to match with professional standards. It's an excellent job. Thank you so much indeed

I feel so stupid I should have spotted it was a dodgy site, their is no place for you to easily contact them. I thought I would get help after receiving my free review of my own cv from Katie at TopCV, I came across this particular website TopCV while on CV library. The free review I received in all honesty seemed plausible they sucked me in at that point. Some negative comments and then some positive. I Paid for a CV, cover letter & a LinkedIn profile. Gave them my current CV. What I got back was a disgrace, copy & pasted my text and then changed words I think they used a thesaurus to find alternative words which made sentences unable to make any sense of. Worse yet spelling mistakes and they even got my current role incorrect in the cover letter. I can't believe I got sucked in with their crisp white professional page. Also never received the LinkedIn profile, I asked to have it 2 occasions & Phil if that is even his real name promised to send it the next day. 3 days later still haven't received it. Tried to contact them to ask for the £50 paid for the LinkedIn profile no response.
Look I know their are good reviews here but similar to how I got sucked in by the free review of my CV by Katie, I can't obviously prove it, but they very much read like her response. Or maybe I just had a not very good cv writer. Be careful people, I wouldn't use them especially if you are strapped for cash. I do not believe you will get what you pay for or worse yet no way will you get your money back when you are devastated at what they send as appropriate content for a CV.
Yours stupid job hunter.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the assessment received, free of charge. Great insights provided, I'll definitely follow the recommendations!
Quick responses from writer. Understood exactly what is needed, and made very good suggestions. Whole process lased only few days in total.
The service provided was outstanding, the end result was far beyond my expectations.
Very responsive very experience staff with a good understanding of the industry who can turn CVS into something which is quite repaint and apt for the industry
Prompt and produced a great cv and cover letter - very pleased
First time I have used an outside source to update my CV and have been very impressed well worth doing, (a telephone contact would be better in my opinion)but still happy
Very professional service, i couldn't believe how good my cv was, it seemed like a whole other person. Top quality work...
Its my second cv review evaluation and it is really helpful, thank you
Sehr schnell und abolut professionell. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.
Top CV was very helpful and the insight provided by Katie Warren helped me improve my CV in ways I haven't thought possible before. I'm very grateful.
My experience was very good, Sophia was so professional and very good at what she does, but also the customers need in what a CVshould be like and feel like, it was a great experience!
I got the service to review my CV, write a template for a cover letter and review my LinkedIn profile. The results were awesome! When I read the new version of my CV I got the feeling of "hey! That's really me, that's the one I want employers to wish to get to know".
The cover letter was also great. I've known since long ago that a cover letter is a good tool to call attention among the many CVs recruiters receive but I never found the right words to showcase my profile as a good candidate. The template I've got from TopCV makes me look fantastic and it looks to work perfect for any sort of opening I may apply for, with the caution of highlighting what is best of my experience for every individual application.
