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 would have no hesitation in recommending CV Now for overhauling your CV or linkedin profile. I couldn't be happier with the finished result. Professional service throughout, in constant contact with my assigned rewriter who kept me updated with the progress and responded to any questions in a timely manner.
CVNOW revamped my CV in a very useful way, they just put things where they should be. The response was very quick, the total period it took from the day I submitted the questionnaire till the end of the project is 10 days which is very reasonable considering the time I needed to review. The writer was very good and took all my notes into consideration very quickly.
CVNow provided me with instant feedback on key aspects, which was very constructive and provided with me examples on how to improve my impact. Professional and friendly service that I fully recommend.
I could have done with further help and examples I find the website a touch slow to upload but further examples and maybe more online help would have been great
My project just got completed by CVNow and I can tell you that my CV is looking great now. I always felt that I was not able to capture my experience and achievements in my CV with right words and right language but now I feel that my CV is very reach and true reflection of my aspiration and experience both. CvNow people are very prompt and very professional.
I was a bit apprehensive at the start, but after the first draft my mind was at ease, I found CVnow fantastic to work with, my personal circumstances were complicated and CV now were very understanding.
The finished product was exactly what I was after and I feel exactly what employees are after, in today's world things like CV must be very word and role specific, I believe they achieved this.
I fully recommend them and money well spent.
I found it remarkable and it was a great big eye opener. I had no idea how much improvement my CV actually needed.
Great job. It helped me to re-evaluate how to perform mi resume to facing today's recruiters. It has been very helpful.
You get 3 chances or 2 rewrites after the initial reworking of your resume. For me I got the first writ up back. It looked promising, but I added what I felt needed to be added from my past experience. They just cut and pasted what I wrote, did not bother with punctuation or capital letters where needed. When I asked for the 2nd rewrite, I got total flim-flam. If you are new to the job market, go for it, but for mid level or supervisory level, look elsewhere.
Final product definitely far more polished and professional than before although I've not had any more interview take ups yet than before. It took a while to get to the final product with me needing to correct numerous grammatical and stylistic errors but overall a friendly and polished service that appears to be pretty good. At times it did feel a bit as though sentences from a CV manual were being added together in slightly random fashion but we got there in the end!
The review of my CV is complete and many points are discussed. More than one page of example and some examples that justify the comments.
Also, my CV has been scanned with the same software as recruiter in order to have an idea of what they can see.
I recommend it.
Let the professional CV Writers review and build your CV. They made my CV of 5 pages into simple 2 pages, with professional words/language that any employer would love to look at. Only thing is that they are less concerned about the graphic/colors in the CV.
Pathetic service... just to check I took their own created CV and again uploaded into their server ( using different email ID). They commented exactly same comments (on their own created CV). And recommended to get it edited by them. BTW I had paid premium. I am affraid they don't have professional caliber personal who can write nice professional CVs.
They may be good for fresh school graduates entering into the job market. Definitely not for experienced personal. They don't have any inkling of how corporate runs or how techno professional world runs. What are the key factors to be beautifully captured to impress the CV scanners.
All the very best!
Hi Jayanta, We appreciate you taking the time to share your review and would like to get this resolved. If you could please send us a direct message on our Facebook page with your full name and email address, customer support will assist right away.
Anyone getting paid to write a CV would do so accordingly!
You feed them with your existing CV along with sample jobs adverts and you are assigned any writer (It could be a dustbin clearer) will compose a draft CV base on the their format for all their customers. In turn you will get opportunity to highlight the draft CV for further improvement. Overall, great service but poor quality of work! If that makes sense: S Its been over 4 weeks not a single call from even an agent. Had better result from old CV which i created myself... Lesson Learnt with a debt £129
Hi Mark, We're sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your experience and would like to get this sorted out. If you could please send us a direct message on our Facebook page with your full name and email address, a customer support rep will get back to you right away.
I am totally disappointed in their services and completely unprofessional way of writing the CV. They are just copy pasting all the documents and every one is getting the same information after paying hundreds of dollars.
I would warn everyone to be aware of this scam and dont pay anything until you see the first template of your CV because once you have paid then they will ignore you for weeks and there will be all copy pasted stuff on your CV which will get you no interview because a lot of people will be using the same information which this CVNOW company is using to trick everyone.
Hi Nabeel, We take all feedback very seriously and want to assure you that we are not a scam. If you could please send us a Facebook message with your full name and email address, we'll get this resolved right away.
I used CVNow services and was amazed with the quick response. They handle my resume & LinkedIn professionally. I am really satisfied with the work they did and I am actually seeing results after that.
The CV looks much better than before. They have edited my CV with an emphasis on key areas where focus was required and explained these in detail. They have also reduced the CV from two pages to one only that makes it more focused (i. E. to the point).
CVNow was responsive upon the mere click of YES... I want this service.
- Professional
- Fast
- Cooperative
- Lift you to your best self from a CV perspective
- Assurance that the job was getting done and the three components for today´s professionals was under control. CV - LinkedIn Profile - Cover letter: All of which are now more dynamic and flexible.
Though it is interesting to read the other comments, I may only speak for what took place with me and CVNow delivered.
Excellent service. Brilliant wording, keep you updated they full way till your satisfied. Highly recommended.
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
