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 did not take the package as I am not in need at the moment but would definitely if I needed to find a job!
They review your CV and send you feedbacks. Of course it was only a premilinary free review and yet the feedbacks were rich and usefull! I imagine the great work they might do when getting paid
The first draft contained poor grammar and typos. The cover letter sounded so boastful it was unuseable. No refunds offered if you are dissatisfied with quality of work. Avoid.
Very professional and offer great advice. Be prepared to personalise the suggested text, however the styling and key words are spot on. Worth the money.
Very effective and efficient team. They solved my career gaps and shifts challenge perfectly. Best service ever. Thank you TopCV.
The contact to the writer took too long if I had been in a hurry. He seemed not to know job descriptions in the field very well. I had to send him a job offer to understand the tasks, competences and skills required. But the replies came quite fast and so did the modifications. Small mistake when saving the doc with the speling of my name. Very nice layout and good idea to mention/separate tasks vs contributions for each position. I would have liked to be able to chat with the writer instead of exchanging emails.
After I ran my CV through their free online CV review, I realised I was missing numerous opportunities. After I paid for the service, a writer called Clodagh was assigned and was brilliant. Linked in profile also completed by them and I landed a job back in Ireland.
Hello,
I wasn't expecting such a good service when i submitted my CV to be reviewed for free but as it turns out i was addressed very politely and the criticism was very constructive and now my CV looks better and doesn't undersell my skills and experience.
And all that was a free service.
Gave me extensive detail about how to better my CV, very helpful and easy to follow tips and tricks!
Submitted my CV for feedback and received a very thorough examination with plenty of feedback and tips to personalise my CV and make it more appealing to potential employers. Would thoroughly recommend.
Initial free review was good so I bought a package for £129 for new CV and cover letter. The process was supposed to start within a couple of days and yet it was over a week before they assigned a writer, then she said she'd send her first draft that day and 2 days later I still hadn't received anything, and when I emailed her, she asked for my CV in a different format! So clearly hadn't even begun yet. The first draft was still very text heavy and didn't achieve what I had asked for and I ended up doing more work on it than she did. She didn't send back any significant changes after that even though it's supposed to be a "collaborative" process with multiple revisions. She didn't answer any of my questions and then was flat out rude! When I complained to the support team, they just said they would pass on my concerns to her! Appalling service and I would definitely not recommend.
I had ordered an update to my CV, as I have been using the same version for years and thought it needed an update. The quality of the draft was so poor that I didn't even bother sending it back with suggestions or otherwise attempt to discuss with the writer. It was a rushed, botched job, done by someone who had no understanding of my area of expertise.
Also, I paid for the 48 hours rush as I needed an updated CV for an interview. The CV was sent too late - after 48 hours - so that I couldn't send it on time and had to use my old CV. Given the appalling quality of the draft, I would not have been able to use it anyway.
Professional, structured and detailed feedback which I found very helpful. I will uppdate my CV accordingly.
I purchased the executive package for £212 and paid up front in full. 1st draft was guaranteed within 48 hours or 2 business days. After 4 business days and several emails I still hadn't received anything. I have cancelled my order and I am currently waiting for a refund. I can't tell you if the quality of output would be any Good, but can warn you not to purchase the executive package!
Evaluating my CV by TopCV led to major changes that put into perspective all my accomplishments. Thank you!
They had a very good idea to offer CV reviews for free and this is an important step forward for someone who needs personalised assistance. I did not try the paid service but I assume they know what they do.
Their response was quick and professional. They managed to pin point problems in my CV and once I read their report I realized that they were exactly to the point.
Speedy evaluation of my CV for serveral aspects like design & formatting, content & structure, keywords & skills, and ATS Compatibility. They seem very closer to you and with good attitude to solve some questions or more information about the review.
I'm glad I decided to send you my CV. The critique I got was really essential and helpful. Now I'm working hard to remove all mistakes. I'm still considering to ask your expert for help. It's quicker and the price is worth to do it.
I had a great experience with this company from customer service to communicating directly with the writer. I didn't know how much better their words and presentation could make with on a resume and I was pleasantly surprised at how much better I now look because of it! I highly recommend their services. It takes your input and work in the process, but you'll be glad you took the time to do so.
I am very pleased with the continuous contact made with me and the prompt service from Juliet W. I would hire myself after reading the restructure of my old CV. Thank you and hopefully I will get some interested recruiters now.
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
