Unlock the Hidden Job Market With a Profile That Gets You Noticed.

Your next opportunity won’t be found on a job board. With over 80% of leadership roles filled through networks, referrals, and search firms, your LinkedIn profile needs to work harder than ever. We position your leadership brand to attract high-level attention, open discreet doors, and reflect your value where it matters most.

Why Do Most LinkedIn Profiles Fly Under the Radar?

Because they weren’t written for the people who matter. Most executive profiles are treated as passive digital CVs - heavy on titles and duties, but light on value, impact, and strategic narrative. They fail to clearly communicate what the leader actually delivers. They blend in, rather than stand out. And they speak to everyone, which means they resonate with no one. Decision-makers and executive headhunters are looking for clarity, relevance, and authority. If your profile doesn’t immediately reflect your commercial value and leadership presence, it’s likely being overlooked.

What sets our executive LinkedIn profile optimisation service apart?

A strategic, high-touch approach to LinkedIn optimisation - built for boardrooms, not job boards.

While most LinkedIn services focus on keywords and surface-level edits, we delve deeper. We translate your leadership achievements into a brand that speaks the language of influence, commercial impact, and board-level credibility. Our process is deeply consultative, beginning with a 1:1 brand discovery session to uncover your leadership narrative, market positioning, and career direction. Every profile is 100% bespoke and all work is led by senior executive branding specialists ensuring every detail reflects your value at the highest level. Most importantly, our work is outcome-driven - designed to elevate visibility, open strategic opportunities, and align directly with your next career move.

Our clients consistently land senior leadership roles at the UK's leading firms.

Is a poorly optimised LinkedIn burning your opportunities?

Even the most accomplished leaders can be overlooked if their LinkedIn profile fails to communicate their value. In a market where visibility, credibility, and perception matter more than ever, an underwhelming or outdated profile could be the reason you’re missing out on career-defining roles. If your LinkedIn isn’t actively supporting your goals, it’s quietly holding you back.

If You’re Not Showing Up in Searches, You’re Not Showing Up in Shortlists.

An underperforming LinkedIn profile doesn’t just go unnoticed. It quietly costs you high-value opportunities. Every week without traction is a week of missed visibility, lost income, and reduced momentum. For senior executives, even one week’s salary far outweighs the investment in professional optimisation. You wouldn’t navigate a high-stakes business decision without expert insight - so why approach your career any differently? Our LinkedIn service is built to fast-track your market positioning, elevate your brand, and connect you with roles that never make it to job boards. The longer you wait, the more opportunities pass you by.

Frequently asked questions.

  • What's the difference between CV People's premium service and a budget CV service?
    When engaging a professional CV service there's typically two types of company you'll come across: Budget CV Mills Price Point: £50 - £200 CV Writers: Usually overseas freelance copywriters Volume: Hundreds of generic CVs per week Project Time: 1 - 2 hours Process: Re-write or edit the existing CV. Work from templates. No direct communication with writer or via email. Usually 1 round of revisions Bespoke, Premier CV Writers - (CV People) Price Point: £200 - £500 CV Writers: Directly employed master CV writers & application experts. 100% UK based. Minimum 10 years experience Volume: Work with a maximum of 4 clients per week Project Time: 10 - 12 hours Process: Study of target positions. Critique of existing CV and report compiled. In-depth Strategy consultation call. CV written & design from scratch using only relevant skills, experience and achievements. CV designed & formatted around the written content. Follow up consultations. Unlimited revisions If you are looking for a fast, budget service, a CV mill may be an option for you. However, the likelihood is you're probably best saving your money and writing it yourself using the free advice contained in our blog. These operators typically outsource to non-native English speaking countries where labour is cheap and quality is poor. They don't include consultation calls, and limit revisions, producing templated, rushed CVs, often littered with mistakes and not an accurate reflection of their clients skills, experience and achievements. With competition for jobs at an all time high, a bespoke, professionally written, ATS optimised CV is the only way to guarantee more interviews. This is the level of service you can expect when engaging CV People®.
  • Which team should I work with?
    Our Management CV Writing Team specialises in working with professionals across team leader, supervisor, mid-level manager, and project/program management roles. This team understands the importance of showcasing leadership potential, team delivery, and operational impact. The CVs they create are tailored to demonstrate measurable outcomes, upward career momentum, and readiness for greater responsibility - all while aligning your experience with the expectations of hiring managers and internal promotion panels. In contrast, our Executive CV Writing Team exclusively partners with senior business leaders operating at executive, director, and C-suite levels, or senior managers aspiring to this level. Executive CVs require a different strategic approach - focused on boardroom influence, commercial leadership, stakeholder engagement, and high-level decision-making. Executive CVs are crafted to position you not just as a candidate, but as a peer to those sitting at the top table. The outcomes are sharper, more strategically framed, and aligned with executive recruitment processes, board-level scrutiny, and headhunter expectations. If you are unsure of your career level, give our team a call on 0800 058 4056 (option 1). We'll be happy to assist you in choosing the best team to work with for your unique career history and future aspirations.

    We've cherry-picked the industry's top talent since 2011, recruiting the UK’s top executive CV writers - including former HR leaders, board-level executive recruiters, headhunters and accredited executive coaches. With over 200 years of combined experience across 72 industries, our team brings deep sector insight and commercial understanding to every engagement. Each consultant is rigorously trained through our in-house executive development programme to ensure every CV meets the highest standard of strategic positioning and executive impact. Your journey begins with a one-on-one, in-depth strategy consultation, conducted via phone or Zoom. This session allows us to understand your leadership story, career direction, and strategic goals. From there, your dedicated UK-based executive writer remains available throughout the process via Zoom, phone, or secure online messaging within your account - ensuring a collaborative, high-touch experience designed around your schedule.
  • What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and how do they work?
    Even at senior management and executive level, your CV must do more than impress - it must first be seen. Today, over 98% of employers and job boards use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to automatically filter applications before they reach a recruiter’s desk. These systems are designed to assess whether your CV aligns with the job’s specific criteria - including key competencies, leadership experience, industry expertise, and qualifications. Recruiters configure these systems at the point of advertising a role, inputting the essential requirements of their ideal candidate. The ATS then uses parsing technology to scan your CV and determine whether you make the shortlist - or get filtered out. According to Indeed data, 76% of CVs we're rejected automatically by their ATS in 2024, never reaching human review. If you’re applying for roles you’re qualified for but receiving little or no response, the issue likely isn’t your leadership capability - it’s your CV’s ability to navigate modern hiring technology. We guarantee your CV will be ATS-optimised for your target roles, ensuring it reaches decision-makers and performs in today's digital hiring environment.
  • What's the CV People® triple guarantee?
    Interview Guarantee While we can't guarantee an interview for a particular position (there's simply too many variables), we do guarantee that your interview to application ratio will improve significantly within 60 days of using your new CV. In the unlikely event that it doesn't improve, your CV writer will rewrite your career documents again and complete any necessary changes free of charge. Money Back Guarantee Changed your mind after engaging our service? Landed the job of your dreams before we start work on your documents? Offered a pay rise after handing in your notice? No problem! We offer a full, no-quibble 100% money-back guarantee. 100% Satisfaction Guarantee As part of our 100% satisfaction guarantee, we offer unlimited document revisions. This powerful guarantee allows you to engage our service with full confidence that you'll leave the process with nothing less than the perfect CV.

    Your data is 100% secure. All communication with your assigned consultant is through our secure server. Once we've completed your project, all documents and communication are automatically deleted after 28 days. We never share or sell your data to any third party.
