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.

Excellent interaction and excellent rendering of the CV.
Expensive. Template based? The initial responses smells of robots. Not the expected level of customising.
Horrible service. Templates are incredibly basic and unoriginal. A lot of the content provided by 'professional' was incorrect. It did not feel like we worked together to achieve a specific goal, my writer just did what she had to do. A lot of the feedback I gave was not implemented. Specific experiences that I value omitted, even after repeatedly asking to leave it on my CV, corrections regarding experience were not applied even though my writer said she would. Super expensive for the service that you get, not at all recommended
I'm satisfied due to there's a real comments not templates or an automated email, i felt that there's someone who actually read my cv and wrote a feedback and highlighted a valid points which will help me alot
A very nice and effective experience with Daniel who was quick to respond and gave professional advice.
Very good experience with this service. Quick and straightforward suggestions that helped me to identify weakness on my cv.
Would recommend it.
It was a great experience getting detailed feedback from a professional recruitment advisor.
A very professional gratifying project. Quinn addressed my case effectively and was a competent advisor, valuable consultant and a capable achiever who delivered beyond expectations!
Thanks a million,
TopCV quickly revised my CV into a more modern, professional look whilst removing unnecessary or outdated content. It was all carried out through email with two or three revisions. The end result was better than i'd expected.
I understood the points made, structures and changes to be made.
Your review was very helpful for me to rearrange my CV.
Fast process - I was happy with the documents, Raymond was polite and efficient.
I believe my resume is more attractive for HR. It's big differences between my writing and cv writer to optimize my cv
Served fast and accurately. Very suggested.
Service was very present through mail and the coach very pressing in a positive way.
I'd like to thank the author who took care of creating professionally written CV and Cover Letter for me - Ian J. Ian managed to highlight all relevant phases of my career, thus helping to draw recruiter's attention and matching my profile to the well-suited role. I really enjoyed communication with Ian, too. Recommend this author in particular, as well as the service in general. All the best!
I did enjoy the work with Kamakshi. Very fast open and friendly. Worked in the change requests however with a clear opinion to get the best out of the project.
Many thanks in every aspect
Cut and Paste Job.
Total disappointment. Very clearly a 'cut & paste' job as somebody else's job title and place of work appeared in my CV.
Totally uninspiring and cluttered document. Apparently it is optimised for recruiting software yet since it went up I have not had one call. My 'old fashioned' CV used to attract regular calls.
The writer agreed a refund then twist and turns from customer support and I'm apparently not entitled all of a sudden. Apparently I didn't request edits but I told the writer as soon as I saw the document it was poor.
Total waste of money, I wish I had read the reviews beore signing up.
Email replies are from templates.
You could do this yourself with a bit of reading around the subject
I changed by CV back this morning and I had 4 calls within the hour.
They are now refusing to answer emails.
Totally unprofessional.
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
