Your CV undersells the billings and placements you've delivered
You've hit targets, built client portfolios and filled hard-to-fill roles - but your CV reads like a job description rather than a track record.
You're moving from agency recruitment into in-house talent acquisition
From billings and placements to talent strategy - and your CV needs to bridge commercial delivery and internal partnering capability.
You're stepping up from consultant to team leader or Head of Talent
Your experience spans your own desk and coaching others. Your CV needs to position that leadership as a strength, not an afterthought.
We specialise in recruitment hiring.
Recruitment hiring looks for commercial results, strong client and candidate relationships, and consistent delivery. Our recruitment specialists position all of it.
Results positioned precisely
Billings, placements, fill rates, time-to-hire, client retention - we translate your desk performance into the language recruitment hiring managers look for.
Precise language across every discipline
Agency recruitment, internal talent acquisition, executive search and RPO all have distinct vocabularies and metrics. Our specialists write in yours.
ATS-optimised for recruitment roles
Recruitment firms and talent teams screen for specific keywords and ATS/CRM skills such as Bullhorn and JobAdder. We write your CV to pass that screening.
Matched with a recruitment specialist
Agency recruitment, talent acquisition, executive search and sourcing all require different positioning. We match you with the specialist for your area.

Frequently asked questions.
Do your CV writers have experience in recruitment?
Yes. Since 2011 we've grown our team to 65 specialist CV writers working across 72+ industries, and we've written more than 60,000 CVs for over 920 professions. We match you with the recruitment specialist with the most relevant experience for your role.
How long does it take?
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.
Who will be working on my CV, and how do we communicate?
A specialist consultant from our team of New Zealand job market specialists works with you from start to finish. It starts with a one-to-one consultation by phone or Zoom, typically around an hour. After that you can reach your consultant by phone, Zoom or online chat in your account.
Will my CV get past applicant tracking systems (ATS)?
Yes. Most employers and job boards use ATS software to filter applications, and most applications are filtered by these systems before a recruiter sees them. Every CV we write is ATS-optimised with the keywords and formatting your target roles are screened for.
Can I request revisions?
Yes. Revisions are unlimited. Your consultant delivers requested changes by 5pm the following business day, and we keep going until your CV is exactly right.
