TopCV writes and analyzes more CVs and LinkedIn profiles than any other service through their network of experienced writers.
The company has garnered mixed feedback regarding its CV writing services. Positive aspects include effective communication from some writers, professional insights, and a few customers reporting successful job placements after using the service. However, significant concerns revolve around the quality of the final products, with many customers feeling that the CVs were poorly tailored, often generated by AI, and lacking in industry-specific detail. Delays in service delivery and inadequate customer support further exacerbate these issues, leading to a perception of the company as unreliable. Overall, while some clients had satisfactory experiences, a notable number expressed disappointment, suggesting a need for improved service consistency.

I took advantage of the promotional option TopCV had to have my CV evaluated by a professional for FREE (which was great), since I've been on the market for a long time now and have not been successful at all to get any interviews. I was feeling confident of my CV, but clearly something was wrong. The reply I got from them was very specific and detailed, it really looked like they put in a lot of thought to review my CV, and had done so from multiple angles. I feel the feedback I got was very critical, but also necessary. All the points are very accurate and I now know what I need to change in order to make it better. I do however believe that I will likely end up using one of their paid services, as at this point (after 8 months on the market), I really feel that it's going to be worth the money.
Fast, useful and trusted free review of your CV, something to get fast review of your basic structure. For an algorithm to review your cv is quite useful

All very very cold service, absolute waste of time and money
There is NO REFUND policy or any attempts to address your concerns, the support people pass you to the CV Consultant who just sends out standard system generated emails.
All for £219!
Crooked Service
I opted for the top package and got 1 of 3 services I had paid for. I feel conned. I have been offered a small partial refund but they are still refusing to fulfil what they sold to me.
Took me a while to write my CV, after lots of research. Then Topcv take a look at it,. Jaw dropping,. They're not merely giving inputs on the content but also the look, how it adapt with search software etc... Thank you!
I am grateful to the Ladies of TopCV for their customer-oriented approach, fast and profound review of my CV, highlighting its advantages and disadvantages as well as providing useful advice on how to improve it to make more appealing and outstanding.
First, they answered me really quickly. I asked a few questions after that first review. The answer that followed was concise again, and it gave the full picture of the puzzle. After a few days of neglecting, and a one more correspondence between us, now the insights has grown like a beautiful fruits tree. And it will give more in the near future. Thanks. With all my possible love to the crue of the TOP CV.
I submitted my CV on Friday evening and had a response the next day so I was impressed by that alone. The comments were helpful and informative and gave me tips to improve specific aspects of my CV. For a completely FREE service, you can't go wrong. I took the advice I was given and spent the whole weekend re-designing my CV and updating it. It was extremely helpful to see my CV in a new light.
Hi, My colleagues and I are technology professionals who wanted play around and see how genuine this site. We all submitted our CVs (6 in total) written and lied out differently. We all pretty much got the same result. I am not going into the details how the 'robot' works behind this, but it is very basic so you are not really gaining anything high class. The fact the website using Katie Warren to make it more personal is a shame as it trying to come across as our CV was review by an actual person. I don't know what honest service provider would choose such misleading technique? Therefore, I have no trust to give my money for such business.
I think that you can count on TopCV for giving you a realistic, useful and a valuable review for your CV.
Reflected what i wanted to see in my CV
My CV Project was acheived in time.
And expert work has been done
Perfect. Just perfect. I am happy with your use of words. I compared it to what I wrote and saw a major difference. The attention to detail was impeccable. Really happy with the service. Could not ask for any better.
The feed-back I received on my CV was fast, clear and accurate. Moreover, it is fully in line with the feed-back I got from another foreign company on my CV in an other language... Thanks a lot. Nicolas
I was initially sceptical but following the free review feedback I could see what they said was a honest objective critique of my existing CV.
The revised CV has exceeded my expectations and I am already seeing the benefits with more interviews.
TopCV helped me realize that too much is exactly that, too much.
Recruiters and/or potential hiring managers do not want to waste their time reading through pages and pages of what might be possible useless information.
Hence Traci, the lady who worked on my CV, took time to ask me question and understand my particular situation. Only then did she put together an AWESOME CV for me, that recruitment agencies are now contacting me constantly to find out if I am still available.
Thank you TopCV and Traci.
I received a feedback on my cv that changed the way i approached job applications.
That they could model the process and tools that real companies deploy including the automatic tracking system was phenomenal.
TopCV is on to something and i would suggest you shouldn't wait to find out!
I went to TopCV as i was time strapped and needed my CV reworked (at their suggestion) and sent back to me in a professional, as if it was me format. What i got was not only wrong the way the edited it, they also reduced my working life by 16 years just so they could fit my CV onto one page. I am 50 years of age, i do not fit onto one page for goodness sake. I paid £170 for the most boring, uninspiring, incorrect piece of crap and when i complained, they just ignore me and refuse to event give me a partial refund. I am taking the matter further. Be very, very careful if you decide to use them. If you want a mundane, boring short edit of your working career, they'll do it just fine. If you want an individual, well written and visually impactful service, forget it, they're utterly dreadful.
Good job. They do a personalised constructive review of the CV, with very logical arguments. They pass your resume through the program used by the recruiters to rate if your CV is suitable or not, witch is very helpful.
They really really really did help even with the free review you recieve from them. It costs you nothing, not even your time except the one second you need to click to send them your CV for a review. Do it and you'll benefit loads!
I received great and highly professional service within time promised. My CV now looks much better, along with Linkedin view. Their guidance and remarks were very much to the point.
Answer: They're a scam - and they'll all rot in hell. I hope our responses here save some other poor souls their hard earned cash. Absolutely appalling service - they're bullies and extortionists at best. A bunch of cheap crooks who cost us our hard earned cash!
Answer: Hi Elena, Great question! Our resume writing process is collaborative between the writer and the client. We use your old resume as a primary source of information, but you will also be able to provide additional details via our questionnaire and in communication with your writer. It's as simple as that! Please let us know if there are any other questions you have. Thanks!
Answer: Don't believe them Tracy! It took them 2 weeks to finally send me something, and it was basically what I had sent them. I complained and they gave my CV to someone else -- with NO rush put on it of course, and 3 weeks later I'm still without my professional CV that is supposed to come with Satisfaction Guaranteed. Only problem is they don't know what that means!
Answer: Easier to ignore an email.
Answer: Hi Phoebe, Great question. In total the process typically takes one to two weeks to get your perfect CV. For more information on our services, please visit: https://www.topcv.co.uk/faq
Hi Lolly,
While I have not personally reviewed your order, it is generally recommended to remove/condense positions from 15 years ago and beyond. This is because potential employers generally view the experience as less relevant. However, if you would like to keep these experiences, our writers would be happy to include them.
