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.

Template dated and confusing to understand, look of the whole CV is messy, CV "experts" lack knowlegde of their supposed areas of expertise (they took critical areas out my CV). Absolutley not what you would want for £100. Disaster
Very professional, bespoke review. I recommend. Valuable help
Faheemah was brilliant from start to finish, she had so much patience and added, amended anything that needed to be done. Her communication with me was excellent and my cv was quickly updated into a whole new format that will help me to stand out. Thank you so much!
The experience was on the whole fully satisfactory. My problem was to effectively synthesize more than 25 years of experience and I must say that the result after your review was outstanding.
If you want your CV professionally done, and want to deal with professionals stay away from these third rate unprofessional people.
When making my €300 order, I explicitly requested a phone conversation with my writer - these people completely ignored my request and when I finally rang them up to find out why they didn't respond to my question.
Instead, they wanted €50 to accept my phone call request and €75 to cancel it. Do not touch them with a ten foot pole - they're low class scammers who use a UK profile to build credibility - they can't even speak English, let alone write a paragraph in it. Total scam - I'm about $100 poorer for trying them and cancelling my order before it even began.
Only interested in taking money, get an online template and write your own. All the info they require about you is ridiculous you may aswell write your own CV in the same amount of time. Top CV is a rogue online company and is not interested when your realise it's not worth the money once your have payed, very misleading
I was followed up by the consultant in the best way possible. Quick replies to my questions, a professionalism hard to find nowadays. Recommended
Prompt reply to my request and good insights provided regarding recruitment market practices. My CV is much improved.
Der mir zugewiesene Kontakt ist exakt auf meine Bedürfnisse eingegangen und hat mir einen Top Lebenslauf erstellt. Das erste Feedback vom Arbeitsmarkt ist ebenfalls positiv. Einzig die Dauer der einzelnen Bearbeitungsschritte ist mit 7 Tagen für ungeduldige Menschen wie mich zu lang. Das Ergebnis ist aber sehr zufriedenstellend
What an absolute waste of money. Loads of bad grammar. Even got singular and plural mixed up. I highlighted a huge amount that I want happy with but wasn't prepared to do this a second time. They were virtually asking me to rewrite the bits I wasn't happy with. Clearly no IT knowledge (that's my profession) and it just didn't make sense. Extra details added of which I had no experience. Extremely disappointing.
In the overall the experience was good and tought me a different approach on my CV writing and focus. We always want more but the result achieved is good enough to move forward with confidence.
Greta was very quick and prompt in her responses and feedback, it was a great experience. Thank you.
I'm very pleased with the result and the short time that it was completed in.
Thank you.
I initially got my CV 'reviewed' (see the verb trashed for more details) by Kate. I thought OK as I am not obtaining many calls from recruiters let me give this a go. The price was quite high for repeated reviews but I thought with feedback like this they may upgrade me.
It turns out I was better off with my previous CV. The first draft had spelling mistakes, copy and pasted parts from the initial questions, grammar errors, punctuation errors. It was an absolute mess.
To give credit to the guy he did tell me what he was trying to convey but I had to review my own CV and spend hours of time on these mistakes to make clear his tone of voice and the message that the CV was trying to convey. Even when he did make the changes that I requested, there were still grammatical mistakes that he added. How do you add mistakes on a edited document? It was horrible having to point out grammatical mistakes to someone I have paid so much money to. Please don't use them. Please don't respond to them. Their services are trash and they belong in the junk portion of your inbox never to see the light of day.
I am very satisficed with my New CV. The response was very quick and professional and fill the expectative
It's just really sad, that they don't care about their reputation, TopCV exist to scam. This company will defraud and deceive customers. In my case, I paid £99, which was the cheapest package. I sent my CV over for them to have a read & review (as requested), only for the writer to accuse me of not sending full information such as my D. O. B, education and career history. All information was apparent on my CV, but my writer did not care enough to read my CV at all, they did not even have the decency or patience to go through it thoroughly, which was the 1st red flag. I actually thought I was corresponding with a robot at one point, it was that bad. The 1st draft was very poor & when I had confronted them about it, they did NOTHING. In fact, that's where it all ended, they stopped emailing back and forth with me & they would disconnect the phone calls when i rang. They stole from me; they didn't complete my CV, actually they did not even start it, they stopped all forms of communication. They do not offer a professional service and they are not responsible at all, There is no pride in customer service or loyalty with TOPCV, they are thieves.
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
