Your CV undersells the methods, instruments and results behind your work
You've run complex analyses, managed samples and delivered results to GLP and GMP standards - but your CV reads like a methods section rather than a track record.
You're moving from academic research into industry
From a university lab into biotech, pharma or consulting - and your CV needs to translate research capability into commercial and regulatory value.
You're stepping from the bench into quality, regulatory or management
Your experience spans technical work and compliance. Your CV needs to position that breadth as a strength, not a split focus.
We specialise in science and research hiring.
Science hiring looks for technical precision, compliance and results that translate beyond the lab. Our science specialists position all of it.
Technical results positioned precisely
Methods, instruments, sample throughput, audit outcomes, publications and grants - we translate your scientific track record into hiring language.
Discipline-specific language across every area
Laboratory, environmental, biotech, pharma, quality and regulatory work all have distinct vocabularies. Our science specialists write in yours.
ATS-optimised for science and research roles
Laboratories, pharma companies and consultancies screen for specific keyword patterns, from IANZ and GLP/GMP to Medsafe. We write your CV to pass that automated screening.

Do your CV writers have experience in science and research?
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 science and research 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 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.

"Salam provided great recommendations on formatting and the length and content of the document. CV People take the hassle out of coming up with the words to sell yourself."
"Paula takes pride in her work, goes to great lengths to understand client needs and it shows. I applied for one job and I was hired."
