I had my doubts about using the service as I thought how could a person that I have never met know more about me and my career and improve on what I already thought was a good CV. Needless to say they did and worked with me in such an easy, friendly and constructive way to give me a great end product.

Reviewed on | Specialist CV |Verified Purchase

It was wonderful working with Jeff creating my CV, Cover letter and Linked in Profile. He was not only very knowledgeable of the Sales rolls I was trying to obtain but also was able to assist with knowledge outside of my previous roles and future career paths as well as talk through writing cover letters to assist with visa sponsorship. Outside of the having to write a passcode to get into the site (Which has NOTHING to do with Jeff) I have nothing negative to note. I am overall very happy with this service and would use again in the future.

The senior Cv was based in the USA so the US version of the Cv did not suit the Irish recruitment agency model because the Cv was a little overloaded with information . However the Cv was extremely well written and the Cv writer Zeth was very patient in providing a great deal of edits in order to finally complete a Cv that suited the Irish jobs market .

It took more than 2 months for 3 drafts (approx.. 20 days for each draft) and even with the final draft, based on draft I shared, I am not very convinced with the overall cv.

Go elsewhere
Reviewed on | CV Writing |Verified Purchase

Paid for CV writing as I had been out of work for a short time so thought by having a professional to create my CV, it would increase my chances. However, any recruitment agency that I submitted my CV to said it was absolutely shocking and had to be created all over again. The cover letter wasn't much better. If you're looking for a CV to pursue a career, go elsewhere

Peter- Chief Executive Officer
Hi Leanne! We reached out to you on your order asking for the precise and constructive feedback these recruitment agencies have provided you. We have received no response in 5 days. We will be calling you today to gather an understanding of this feedback and see whether it would be something we can action for you to improve upon Kathlyn's latest draft.

I would like to note, though, that Kathlyn's latest draft of your CV is already a massive improvement over your original. I am confident that we can work together to ensure a result that you are happy with.

Please always feel free to reach out with feedback from third parties like recruitment agencies - this is something we can look to factor in if the feedback is reasonable and would honestly represent an improvement.

Purpose of getting interviews wasn’t achieved
Reviewed on | Senior CV Writing |Verified Purchase

I took senior Cv writing package with cover letter and LinkedIn Profile package for 230 Euros. I was able to bargain 1 extra Cv for that money. My senior Cv write Ms Claire Brenan was absolutely brilliant and my Cv looks very good and organized. However

1. the entire process of getting the Cv is very impersonal and not correct at all. Before buying the package, the call was made my Ms Claire, but after buying the package when I asked her to call me, It came to my knowledge that the calls were chargeable and very expensive. Like they asked me Euro 40-50 for 15 mins call. That is absolutely outrageous and wasn’t told to me about. Thats like mis-selling. The contact with the CV writer is only by dropping messages on there online software, not even direct chat. They will reply once they see the messages.

2. The Cv writers of UK for sure (like 100%) don’t know the Irish Job market and what recruiters and consultants look for, the moment they open the CV. I wouldn’t advise Irish people to get the Cv made from UK people

3. I am still not getting interviews at all and my Cv is being rejected outrightly. I bought this expensive package because my CV was being rejected outrightly by all companies when I have 10 plus years of sales banking and Wealth Management experience, solid academic background and good progression in my career as compared to my friend with no or little experience and they all had jobs. Its not James Inn group or Ms Claire’s fault but there ATS optimization software is surely not a good one.

4. There was quite a delay in my final CVs.

5. All in all, I wouldn’t go again for such services.

Katy- Chief People Officer
Many thanks for your comprehensive feedback, Varun, and I am pleased that you feel the CV looks good. However, I was very sorry to see that, overall, you don’t feel that the purpose was achieved here and would like to respond to your concerns in turn:

1. You mentioned that your senior CV writer, Claire, was absolutely brilliant, but then that the process was impersonal. I understand that this primarily relates to the additional cost for a phone consultation. For clarification, a consultation is not included as standard, but as an optional extra, so there wasn’t any mis-selling here. In fact, we quoted you just €20 for a follow-up call, and had already given you a free second CV as part of the original package.
2. Our writers do indeed have a good understanding of requirements in different markets around the world; in this case, your statement is 100% false as your assigned writer is, in fact, Irish.
3. We do not run our clients’ CVs through an ATS, and haven’t at any time suggested that we do, as there is little purpose to this. Our emphasis is always on keyword optimisation, which Claire outlined to you early on in the process. It is, of course, extremely disappointing that you are being rejected outright and we would be happy to support you further. In fact, I reached out to you on your order page asking for more examples of job roles you are targeting, and any CVs that you have adjusted to meet the requirements for these roles so that we could ensure the keyword optimisation process was being done correctly, but we didn’t hear back from you.
4. I can confirm that your first draft was delivered exactly within the original estimated turnaround times quoted to you at the point of order. Subsequent drafts and responses to feedback were also all provided promptly during UK/IE working hours, so there is no factual evidence of any delays.
5. It is disappointing that you wouldn’t use such services again and I hope we can change your mind - just get in touch directly via your order page where we would be more than happy to pick things up again and support you with your career journey.

High quality service, not worth paying for express service
Reviewed on | Premium CV Writing |Verified Purchase

Rachel provided a high quality service across CV, linked in and covering letter. Her questions in the initial phone call allowed me to get across the key points i wanted to come out in my CV and she provided good advise and feedback. The quality of the written documentation was excellent, showing she's really understood what what we'd discussed. She took on board feedback and we settled on the final CV within a couple of rounds of changes. My only negative feedback would be the timings. I'd agreed the express service within my price and although the initial draft was within the agreed timescale I had to wait for updated versions based on my feedback, the linked in and eventually the covering letter. It took in total 17 days despite generally providing feedback within a few hours to any questions and only having around 2-3 rounds of feedback.

Katy- Chief People Officer
I am so pleased that you are happy with the quality of the service and documents that you received from Claire, and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Looking at the order, it seems that the CV was delivered to you nice and promptly and, as we typically work on that first, it was only after a couple of iterations that Claire moved forward with the LinkedIn profile after the weekend. But there was definitely a delay in delivering the cover letter to you, so my apologies for that.

Service was not good
Reviewed on | Senior CV Writing |Verified Purchase

Took long to get allocated a writer. There was no point in answering the questions of what you want, because I don't think anybody read it. First product was a template with zero professional services input on CV 're-write' the second one allocated was much better but the fact that I had to complain to actually get the services I paid for was rather disappointing to me. If you want a new CV template I would recommend, but beyond that I felt there was no real value for money in the offering. But rather they were very focused on selling the next additional thing instead of just providing the service, additional call, additional speed of delivery time. If a CV can not be written without these additional services then maybe don't sell such a bundle.

Katy- Chief People Officer
Thank you for your feedback, Thokozani, and I am sorry that our service didn’t meet your expectations. You mentioned that it took a long time for a writer to get allocated, but your order was actually assigned to a writer, and an initial draft sent to you, exactly within the average 6 days that we quoted to you at the point of order. I understand that you were not happy with the initial drafts, but we stepped in as soon as we became aware, added a completely FREE phone consultation (with no attempt to sell any additional services) and reallocated your order to a brand new PREMIUM writer, whose work you stated that you were happy with before marking it as approved on 9th February. If you feel that there is anything more that we could have possibly done here, please do reach out via your order page to let us know.
