A senior, recruiter‑led review of your CV, without templates or fluff

If you’ve got solid experience, a good career behind you, and a CV that looks perfectly respectable on the surface but isn’t getting you anywhere, this is usually not a formatting problem.

It’s a positioning problem.

I spent over eleven years working in senior professional recruitment, and I’ve reviewed hundreds of CVs at this level. Most of the people I worked with were not unemployable, outdated or doing anything wildly wrong. Their CVs simply weren’t standing up to how recruiters and hiring managers actually read them in today’s market.

This CV review is for experienced professionals who want honest, practical feedback from someone who has sat on the other side of the hiring process and knows exactly where things are falling down.

Who this is for (and who it isn’t)

This review is designed for you if:

• you’re operating at a senior or specialist level

• you have years of experience and strong capability

• you’re being told you’re overqualified, or you’re hearing nothing at all

• your CV feels fine, but something clearly isn’t landing

• you want clarity rather than another template

It’s not for entry‑level roles, graduate CVs, or people looking for creative redesigns. This is about substance, structure and relevance at senior level, not aesthetic makeovers.

What I actually review

I look at your CV the way a recruiter does, which means I’m asking questions like:

• Can I see your value within the first few seconds

• Is your level obvious, or does it look muddled

• Are you signalling seniority without triggering overqualified filters

• Is your recent experience doing the heavy lifting

• Is your language aligned with how roles are actually being searched and filled

• Are you accidentally revealing age, salary history or misalignment

This isn’t a tick‑box exercise. It’s about whether your CV works in real‑world conditions.

What you’ll get from the review

You’ll receive a personalised, recruiter‑led video review of your CV, recorded on screen, where I talk you through it section by section exactly as I would if we were sitting side by side. I’ll explain what stands out immediately, where your value is landing clearly, and where things are soft, unclear or quietly working against you.

Alongside the video, you’ll also receive written notes summarising the key points and recommendations, so you’re not relying on memory alone or rewatching the recording just to capture specific details.

Once you purchase, you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to submit your CV, along with the option to share any background information you feel is relevant. That might include the types of roles you’re targeting, recent rejections, or anything else you’d like me to factor into the review.

From there, I’ll complete your review and return it within five working days.

This approach allows you to see your CV through a recruiter’s eyes, understand why certain sections aren’t landing, and make informed changes with confidence rather than guesswork. At this price point, the review is designed to be practical, focused and actionable, rather than a full consultation or coaching session.

The review covers:

• how your CV reads on a fast senior‑level skim

• whether your level and positioning are immediately clear

• where you may be signalling overqualified without realising

• how recent experience is carrying the narrative

• structure, emphasis and language, not just wording

• visibility issues that affect recruiter review and LinkedIn search

I don’t rewrite your CV for you, because that rarely helps in the long run. Instead, I show you what’s blocking progress and how to fix it properly.

How this is different from standard CV services

Most CV reviews focus on layout, keywords and generic best practice. At senior level, that’s rarely the real issue.

What usually matters far more is:

• how clearly your level comes across

• whether your experience looks current and commercially relevant

• whether your CV matches how roles are being scoped now, not ten years ago

• whether it reassures hiring managers rather than making them nervous

This review is grounded in recruiter psychology and lived hiring reality, not textbook CV rules.

How it works

Once you book:

• you’ll receive details on how to send over your current CV

• I’ll review it in full through a senior hiring lens

• you’ll receive a detailed video recording and written feedback you can immediately act on

No ongoing upsell, no pressure, just clear, honest guidance.

A note on expectations

A CV review won’t magically fix a broken market or guarantee interviews overnight. What it does do is remove the invisible friction that stops capable people being taken seriously.

It gives you clarity, direction and a CV that behaves properly in the real world.

For many senior professionals, that alone is a noticeable shift.

How much does it cost

The CV review is priced at £125.

This includes a personalised, on‑screen video review of your CV, written summary notes, and a turnaround of within five working days from receiving your CV and any supporting information you choose to share.

This service does not include a consultation call and it isn’t a rewrite service. The focus is on clear, practical feedback and senior‑level repositioning, delivered efficiently and without unnecessary add‑ons.

Once you’ve purchased, you’ll receive a confirmation email with clear instructions on how to submit your CV and any background context, so the review is as relevant and useful as possible.
