If you are looking for a fast, budget service, a CV mill may be an option for you. However, the likelihood is you're probably best saving your money and writing it yourself using the free advice contained in our blog. These operators typically outsource to non-native English speaking countries where labour is cheap and quality is poor. They don't include consultation calls, and limit revisions, producing templated, rushed CVs, often littered with mistakes and not an accurate reflection of their clients skills, experience and achievements.

With competition for jobs at an all time high, a bespoke, professionally written, ATS optimised CV is the only way to guarantee more interviews. This is the level of service you can expect when engaging CV People®.

We've cherry-picked the industry's top talent since 2011, recruiting an elite team of senior HR managers, veteran specialist recruiters and New Zealand's leading career coaches with over 400 years of combined industry experience. Our in-house recruitment and training program ensures our entire team possess an unmatched expertise in over 65 industries and are more than qualified to craft you a world-class CV, regardless of your industry and profession.

The first stage of our process is to conduct a strategy consultation call with you. This can be completed over the phone or via Zoom and typically lasts around an hour. Throughout the entire process you can communicate via phone, Zoom or online chat within your account. All of our CV writers are New Zealand based and work Monday - Friday.

An applicant tracking system is a piece of software that 98% of job boards and individual companies now use to filter out unsuitable applications, saving the recruiter time reviewing unsuitable applications.

The ATS is setup by the recruiter when they post their job advert on a job board (Seek, Indeed, etc.) or their own website. The recruiter submits the key requirements for the job, such as specific skills, education, experience, qualifications, etc. The ATS then uses CV parsing software to 'read' your CV and makes a decision as to whether you qualify to have your CV shown to the recruiter - or not.

A frightening statistic is that 3/4 CVs are never actually seen by the recruiter and are automatically rejected by ATS software. The average ATS score against targeted positions is an astonishing low 34%, with only 1/17 CVs scoring above 90% for the candidates targeted positions (usually written by a professional CV writing service). If you're making applications that you are qualified for and receiving templated rejection emails or no feedback at all, your CV is likely being rejected by the ATS and not the hiring manager or recruiter. We guarantee to get your CV past the ATS for targeted positions.

Yes! Unlike budget services we don't limit your revisions. We strive to create the perfect CV for every client, and we don't stop working until that's exactly what you have.
