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.

This experience was 100% good. The tips I got were really needed for me to improve the look and content of my essay!
Very in-depth response and was extremely helpful in helping me recreate my CV. I was even told what exactly i could do to improve. They also run your CV through an automated system used by companies
Really good feedback and extremely helpful and knowledgable! Would definitely recommend to anyone at any age.
It is a nice surprise for me because they really read my CV without any fee.
They have good expertise on this service. Their comments and explanation are very detailed. This service is very useful. I can recommend.
Thank you for the time and effort spent to help me.
Was very sceptical about paying a company to write my cv but as my cv was out dated and had mistakes all the way through it, it was the best money i ever spent iv had tones of job offers of which are paying more money and my cv now betrays me in a more profesinal manner, very easy and straight forward. Thank you very much TopCv
I really appreciate your suggestions i will with no doubt take them into consideration. Thank you for helping us better our selves
I was expecting a professional rework of my CV but was absolutely appalled by the quality of what was sent to me! The writers are obviously not English natives...
As for the LinkedIn service, what a joke!
Save your money and stay away from these thieves!
This is a total waste of your money. Do not go near them. The mysterious Katie will send you a critique of your cv but it's exactly the same as she sends to everyone. I have been waiting 2 weeks for my first draft and still nothing. The positive reviews you read are ALL FAKE. The bad reviews are from honest people who have been victims.
This is a very good site, with very good services. You have really read my CV, without ask any money, and your observations are correct and useful. Thank you for the time and effort spent to help me.

So far I've only used their free service in which they review your CV and present you with their findings. I expected some sort of standard response but it was clear my CV had actually been looked at and the critique was comprehensive and extremely helpful!
Similar to many of the other reviews on here I see that it's either a full 5 star or a 1. I think I know which ones are genuine.
DO NOT send them any money. The CV I received was appalling in both layout, grammar and tone. Clearly written by someone overseas. The best bits where the parts copied and pasted from my original supposed "poor" CV.
No response to my request for full refund. You will not be able to send a recruiter anything they produce. Plus they took over a week to respond with just standard template emails to keep me waiting..
They do not ask very in depth your goals and your expectations. They write a super fast "default" CV, Linkedin or cover letter, basically something that whoever could do by himself for free.
Basically you become one of the million people with the same default CV, with no distinction point.
Moreover, the service is incredibly overpriced. Based on my experience I would have paid (for CV, Cletter, Linkedin) maximum 50, while it costed 200.
I asked for a refund, it was impossible. They just proposed another writer, but nothing changed.
Completely useless.
Make sure that you are reside in UK not North America. This service promise you to deliver resume writing, where you sill not get that after you pay off your fees.
STAY AWAY, THIS IS A SCAM service, they run another on in North America called Top resume.
I filed a complaint about they with no feedback from there management, although I paid the premium service.
topcv.co.uk really helped me well on my CV with their honest, straightforward assessment. I was really surprised to see their quick responses. I couldn't thought of so many mistakes in my CV with its presentation and language. The review was well constructed on various aspects of the CV. Thank you Katie Warren.
Hi all,
Tha k you for your time to investigate my CV I got some hard critique points to improve!
Kind regards,

Paid £129 for CV and cover letter. Took them a week to respond. I thought the idea was that they helped you find work. They actually delayed my applications.
Their work on my CV is grounded on data with convincing arguments and they provide a good service in my opinion. I would definitely consider paying for this website.
Thanks for contact, very good hints and points for mu CV
Really I have a good impression of you and I will do the same with my CV
When I applied to "TopCV.co.uk" web site to get help to correct my cv, I didn't believe in honestly to get a detailed report quickly. When I read through this report I was really surprised. They are really good at their jobs. I am really impressed and enjoyed. Thank you so much for this experience.
TopCV is a very usefull services. Its review of my CV was clear and complete. The review have language, content and layout ad subjects, and it was very helpfull to improve my CV.
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
