Why Choose us?
1We are recruiters, unlike many of our competitors
We work in the recruitment industry by day, affording us insights into the latest CV trends from both client preferences and candidate practices. Unlike many of our major competitors, who solely craft CVs without direct involvement in recruitment, we actively engage in the field, ensuring our finger remains on the pulse of industry demands. Unlike services churning out generic CVs from writers with no or only previous recruitment/industry experience, we benefit from a direct feedback loop with end clients, ensuring your CV reflects what hiring managers truly seek
2No need for multiple revisions - we get it right the first time
While our competitors may involve you in time consuming back-and-forth revisions on CVs (dressing this offering up as a positive), we eliminate this hassle altogether by getting it right from the start. Armed with a precise comprehension of the format, necessary information, and clients' expectations - the key elements in securing that vital interview - we provide precision and efficiency in our initial submission, saving you valuable time
3We work in the sectors we hire for
We engage with hiring managers not only as recruiters but also through our Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated business, Virtue Capital. Why is this crucial? Because it provides us with insights and fosters relationships that surpass those of traditional recruiters. This enables us to gather feedback and valuable information from hiring managers, aiding our understanding of their candidate preferences. We then translate this knowledge into crafting the ideal CV - their important first impression of you
4No unnecessary cover letters
While some CV writers may include or offer cover letters to boost their appeal, we focus on our clients' preferences, as they typically do not find them useful. In today's job market, cover letters are seldom requested outside of specific academic contexts/fields. Many recruiters and hiring managers disregard them, viewing them as outdated and sending one, when one is not requested, may show you are out of touch with today's practices.
5Premium quality service with no hidden prices
We will not be the cheapest CV service as you are paying for premium quality and our recruitment industry expetise - you can consdier us akin to the Ferrari of CV services. Our distinct experience and background sets us apart from firms that simply mass-produce CVs without genuine recruitment or industry insight.
Furthermore, we maintain simple pricing, ensuring that individuals at all experience levels are charged the same. We believe in consistency, as the methodology remains unchanged whether you are a junior or senior professional.
6Limited avilability for premium quality
We restrict our workload to only a handful of CVs and calls, driven by our sincere dedication to take time and thoroughly evaluate your experience and skills. In contrast to the mechanical pace of a CV factory (the majority of our competitors), our method is centred around investing the necessary time and effort to ensure your CV captivates attention. Such meticulous attention to detail cannot be hurried, reflecting our steadfast commitment to delivering your ideal CV without any revisions needed.
