Our CV writing service suits the vast majority of clients.

You'll be taken to your account on our platform to share some information about your career history and target roles.

Your CV is written by a specialist in your field and the New Zealand job market. Our team includes former HR managers, specialist recruiters and career coaches. The process starts with a strategy consultation by phone or Zoom, usually around an hour. After that you can talk to your writer by phone, Zoom or the chat in your account. Our writers work Monday to Friday.
Your first draft is delivered within 3 business days of your consultation call, which is usually scheduled for the next business day after you book. Express 1 and 2 business day turnarounds are also available - tell us your timeline when you book.
Yes, and there's no limit. We keep working until you're completely happy. Your writer delivers revisions by 5pm the following business day, once they've clarified any extra information they need from you.
An ATS is software that job boards and employers use to filter applications. The recruiter enters the key requirements for the role, and the ATS reads your CV to decide whether it reaches a human. If you're applying for roles you're qualified for and getting template rejections or no reply at all, the ATS is the likely reason. Every CV we write is ATS-optimised for your target roles.
98% of clients secure more interviews within 60 days - if you don't, we rewrite and retarget your documents completely free of charge. It means you can work with us risk free.
Completely. Everything you share with us - your situation, your documents and your plans - stays strictly confidential.
Upload your CV and a specialist in your industry will send you a detailed written review and ATS check the same business day. No obligation.
